In BZ388, bug submitter provided references. In your bug report, there is none. One can argue than native speakers know collation rules for their language, but at least for French this is obviously wrong ;) > And what about the comment in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_ES: > > % Ordering algorithm: > % 1.

Right, AFAICT these collation rules came from an earlier draft of iso14651_t1, coefficients for U0020 had been fixed but this comment has not been updated. Anyway I came to a bookshop today and had a look at a Spanish dictionary. Spaces were significant in this dictionary: san san bernardo sana-something, I do not remember the exact word IMHO you can try to either find references as in BZ388, or give detailed references (ie. not as I did above, I had no pen to write down details) to several well known Spanish dictionaries which sort words as you describe. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2648 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
