That sounds great to me Jed. I'm sure whole careers are made trying to resolve localization problems. I presume the problem already exists with the existing "sort" filter? Does it sort differently on different platforms and/or different encoding sets?
I suppose there could be yet another set of lt/gt filters that indicate that the comparison is done with UTF (e.g. ltu,gtu). Thanks!
