Hey Michael, thanks for your update. I am no expert for unicode sorting myself, but I know that python uses wscoll internally for locale.strcoll(). So wide chars should be supported and strcoll should implement sorting based on the rules of the selected locale. For me, I see e.g. Déjà Dup sorted between Debian Documentation and DeskScribe (my locale is en_US) with the current version of software-store.
Attached is a small test program that tests the example for french you gave above. It seems to be sorted correctly with locale.strcoll() (unless I miss something). I'm fine with using python-pyicu of course, I just want to understand the issue first. For me the test app prints: unsorted: coté côte côté cote normal: cote coté côte côté strcoll: cote côte coté côté That seems to match your example above. ** Attachment added: "small test program" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32008836/unicode-sorting.py -- Please sort programs in a locale-friendly way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
