Thanks Bob for being one of the folks on the list who always tries to
offer a solutions for people.
That said, I have solutions a plenty. My real question is for LIVECODE,
LTD or perhaps someone like Mark Waddingham who could actually tell
whether this is the expected behavior (not a BUG, but probably should be
documented) or an aberrant behavior (a BUG and should be reported)

This does not answer the why, but as far as case specific, you can sort lines of
<original text> by word 1 of each ascending text

Okay, here is a Monday morning puzzler for folks:
Take the following text:
Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Arabic عربى
Greek Ελληνικά
Russian русский
Norwegian Norsk
"sort lines of <original text> ascending international" produces exactly what
is expected:
Arabic عربى
Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Greek Ελληνικά
Norwegian Norsk
Russian русский
However, "sort lines of <original text> ascending text" produces:
Arabic عربى
Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Greek Ελληνικά
Russian русский
Norwegian Norsk
Now, WHY should Russian appear BEFORE Norwegian with R before N in treating it as a
straight ASCII sort ("text")???
Try it yourself in LC9.0.5rc1. Is this a BUG? or should unpredictable results be expected
if using a default (as "text" is the default) sort of text in LC9.0.5?
