--- Comment #7 from Telesto <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #6) > > "Locale" > > It has not much of a purpose, it seems. > > Shouldn't it affect the parsing logic for numbers in strings? The decimal > separator, the digit group separator - those can differ based on locale. > That's what I assumed this does. I really have no idea. It seems likely. However it's bit weird of a dialog picking a certain sorting rule indirectly based on locale. As if each locale having separate set of specific rules. Next to the fact that I have any feedback what the actual entail (black box). Not in the dialog nor in the documentation I get the impression that selecting a locale defines enables a additional rule: * Dutch -> No additional sorting rule * Zulu (and many other languages)-> Enabled the Alphanumeric 'option' at least the disabled option drop down suggests this * Japanese -> lets the user pick one of the possible rules But again your interpretation is as valid. So picking locale might affect: decimal separator, the digit group separator [Haven't toyed around to try it out] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
