[xsl] xsl:sort / xalan-c++ sorting international?

[Frank-Ralph Reiser <xml-xsl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

For one thing, I don't really know which XSLT processor is really 
efficient...
In our company, we use xalan-c++.

The binary version of xalan-c++ available for download on 
http://xml.apache.org doesn't support language-specific xsl:sort, or so 
it seems.
(e.g. german umlauts "ä", "ö", "ü" and so on always come out as the last 
items...)
The java version of xalan is beyond all question because of  its low 
speed...

I tried to compile xalan-c++ with ICU enabled with linux i386.
Compiling ICU was not so much a problem, but compiling xalan with ICU was.


So, my question is:
Are there any binary versions of xalan-c++ (or any other commerially 
usable and fast XSLT-processor), which support sorting of 
language-specific special characters?
Destination os would include linux-i386, win32 (windows 2000, NT4 and 
XP) and solaris 2.6 and up.


Thanks for every hint in advance...
