Dean A. Snyders asks,From my understanding of the situation, it is generally best to expect that the default collation will provide a sort that is just barely tolerable. It's only there as a fallback, to prevent utter catastrophe; if you want sorting actually to work properly, you need a tailored one. Since the requirements for sorting are so varied, no default will satisfy everyone, so the default just has to do its best to avoid completely screwing up--barely.
Why make something we do all the time more difficult and non-standard, when what we do now works very well?
Please, one thing to remember about default collation is that
it's default. It's only there when no other instructions exist.
That right?
