I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the way in which Openoffice
sorts items in alphabetical order.
Openoffice applies the “word-by-word” variant of alphabetical order,
whereby spaces and certain punctuation marks are sorted before letters
(so that, for example, New Haven comes before Newcastle), and I want to
change this.
I would have thought that this is set at the level of the operating
system (mine is Debian GNU/Linux); but why then does Openoffice offer
all those language variants under Tools > Sort? (Though they don’t seem
to make any difference.)
I’m not a programmer, but I don’t mind getting my hands dirty.
