Subject: RE: [xsl] Sorting Upper-Case first. Microsoft bug? From: Yago Alvarado <Yago.Alvarado@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2003 10:17:46 +0100 |
I've been re-reading the W3C Recommendation and although I still think the definition for the case-order sorting given in it is misleading to say the least, I have to recognise that if you keep reading the EXAMPLE given in it clearly states that given A,B,a and b the sorting (Upper-case first) would be A,a,B,b And that's probably why all the implementators followed this rule. According to the W3C Recommendation: - ----------------------->8---------------------->8-------------------------- case-order has the value upper-first or lower-first; this applies when data-type="text", and specifies that upper-case letters should sort before lower-case letters or vice-versa respectively. For EXAMPLE, if lang="en",then A a B b are sorted with case-order="upper-first" and a A b B are sorted with case-order="lower-first". The default value is language dependent. - ----------------------->8---------------------->8-------------------------- This is not what one would expect when sorting by case (I'm with David Carlisle on this one) but it seems to me sorting by case (REAL case sorting) wasn't a requirement when they created the recommendation. :-( Thanks to everyone for your replies. I have now a better understanding of how the sorting is supposed to work.
