Hi, I don't want to sort, sort will compare both strings and will return -1,0,1 for a sort order. What I pretend is as an example, find a proper match in the word "Computação", if I look for "tacão", "taçao" or "tacao". Case insensitivity is easily fixed by lowering both values but accent is not so trivial.
The Flash native Collator http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/globalization/Collator.html Allow me to configure ignoreCase and ignoreDiacritics which allows me to perform a case and accent insensitive sorting or equality but not find within.
