Subject: [xsl] sort and collating sequence From: "Paul Bell" <pbell@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 13:18:48 -0500 |
Hi All, I recently scoured the xsl-list digest in search of information about how the several xsl:sort implementations construe the notion of a 'collating sequence'. My own observation is that xsl:sort (msxml3 at least) does a kind of 'semantic sorting'. For example, the values: aaa bbb ccc AAA BBB CCC sorted order="ascending" data-type="text" are presented as: aaa AAA bbb BBB ccc CCC I work at a company that knows a little about sorting and I find this sequence odd. Shouldn't it be: AAA BBB CCC aaa bbb ccc To put a fine point on it, isn't the ascending sequence in UTF-8: x'414141' x'424242' x'434343' x'616161' x'626262' x'636363' ?? This behavior seems so wrong to me, yet it is so unremarked in the digest that I feel I must be missing something huge. Can anyone shed any light on the correctness of this behavior? Is it unique to msxml3? Can one use xsl:sort to produce what seems to me the proper sequence? Thank you. -Paul XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
