Subject: RE: [xsl] xsl:sort with msxml english language, danish characters, weird results From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 11:01:03 +0100 |
It's up to the implementor whether they support lang="da" or not. For lang="en", it's up to the implementor how special characters are collated. This processor appears to be using a fairly commonly used algorithm in which characters are given a primary weight (a, b, c), and a secondary weight based on variations of the primary character (accents); the secondary weight of a character is taken into account only if the primary weights of all characters are equal. This algorithm is similar to those used by publishers when foreign-language names are used in an English publication such as a gazetteer, though I've seen many variations in the actual practice of different publishers.
