Subject: RE: [xsl] German umlaut sort From: Geert Bormans <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 09 Jun 2013 11:12:42 +0200 |
from what I remember from a recent project in which I needed a non standard Chinese sorting, msxml supports most of the locales through the OS. You can simply bind to a locale using the lang attribute <xsl:sort lang="de-CH"/> will likely do the trick not sure if this standard or not, and if it would work for you, but <xsl:sort lang="zh-CN"/> worked amazingly well for me on msxml
Thank you Michael,
I've tried all the options you proposed. No way with MXSML :-( I've read somewhere MSXML was using the internal language config of a computer for that purpose. I have a swiss French PC, so I will ask my customer to try on a swiss german one. Maybe the solution?

Quite simple :-) I don't know how to manage this issue with XSL. Maybe any idea for a workaround?
JP,
As far as I know FOP is not doing the XSL transformation itself, so you use a certain XSLT processor to do this. E.g. Saxon relies on the collations (sorting rules) available in Java resp. .NET when sorting. And based on this it is possible to take advantage of advanced sorting features.
In http://saxonica.com/documentation/html/extensibility/collation.html I find the description how Saxon handles a collation attribute like in
<xsl:sort select="." collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=de-CH" />
This assumes, that de-CH is a known locale for the environment Saxon uses at the moment.
Other tools may have other options (or not). So if you share which tool you use for XSLT processing (and if you use XSLT > v.1 or not), we may be able to help you.
