Subject: [Bug libc/374] The rules in LC_COLLATE are random and sometimes clearly wrong
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2004 18:38:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040912183820.4451.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20040908235331.374.munzirtaha@newhorizons.com.sa>


------- Additional Comments From munzirtaha at newhorizons dot com dot sa  2004-09-12 18:38 -------
Some hints: 
1. There should be no difference between en_US and en_CA. 
2. de (sorry not da) sorting is very odd. (the character "-" has a 1st order 
sorting value, coming before letters and numbers; on most other locales "-" is 
ignored in sorting) 
3. ar_SA handles "-" as a collatable element coming after "z". ar_SA defines 
LC_COLLATE using an old syntax (with only one level of collating weight); so 
maybe this special weight for "-" wasn't intended to be like that; just a 
side-effet. Maybe the LC_COLLATE section should be redefined to use the 
default one and only redefine (if needed) the sorting of arabic script letters 
only. 
 
Thanks to Mr. Pablo of Mandrake for discussing the issue with me. I borrowed 
some of his comments.
