The 'stringi' package claims robust cross-platform performance. It exports
much functionality of the ICU library and will attempt to install it when
not present.
The function 'stri_sort' accepts a collation argument that can be defined
with 'stri_opts_collator'.

For many scientific applications one is really dealing with ASCII characters and
LC_COLLATE="C", even if the user is running in non-C locales. What robust
approaches (if any?) are available to write code that sorts in a
locale-independent way? The Note in ?Sys.setlocale is not overly optimisti

You mean where it says that some platforms may not respect the locale (I
assume, though don’t know, that en_US.UTF-8 and en_US.utf8 would be the
same)? But I gather that the general problem has been looked into and is
difficult to solve; thanks.

A colleague¹s R program behaved differently when I ran it, and we thought
we traced it probably to different results from string comparisons as
below, with different R versions. However the platforms also differed. A
friend ran it on a few machines and found that the comparison behavior
didn¹t co
