You didn't change the state of the bug.  So don't complain if nobody notices it.

I have checked in a different patch.  Your collation file duplicates a lot of
information from the normal iso14651_t1 file.  That's no good.  The setup I have
now allows sharing the data.

Correctly.

In fact, most Chinese users only care about the characters that have same 
pronunciations should be sorted together, the inner order of pinyin+tone is 
not so that important.

Subject: Re:  collation in pinyin for zh_CN locale

Pinyin collation for zh_CN as the default will be great -- In fact, I
am surprised to learn it isn't done that way already!

I do have a question though:  What is the order of characters nested
within a given pinyin+tone category?  For example, is this going to
follow the standard order of one of the big dictionaries?  Or
something else?

My copy of "The Pinyin Chinese-English Dictionary 汉英词典" (Wu Jingrong
ed., Beijing Foreign Languages Institute 1979) seems to order
characters by number of strokes within pinyin category, i.e. "jin1":
巾今斤金津矜 ... etc.  This is one logical way to do it.

But my copy of 现代汉语词典 （中国社会科学院语言研究所 Commercial Press Beijing 1986）
orders "jin1" completely differently: 津禁襟巾今衿矜 ... etc.  I'm not sure
what the logic here is ...

Another logical way to do it would be to order by how frequently the
character is used.  If I remember correctly from an earlier post, the
perl script for generating the locale were pulling data from SCIM
tables.  So does this mean you are going to order based on character
usage frequency within pinyin+tone category?

There will be several collation for Chinese, like pronunciation (pinyin) and 
strokes. The most widely used collation is pinyin acturally. The collation of 
iso14651 is of no use for Chinese.

So, the proposal is replacing current collation for zh_CN (iso14651) to pinyin. 
As for the strokes, we'll likely propose zh_CN@strokes in the future.

So, what exactly is the proposal?  Create a new locale zh_CN@pinyin or using the
new collation data for zh_CN?  The former sounds much safer to me.

zh_CN@pinyin.gb18030 collate

The attachment is the collation for zh_CN locale. The method for generating
this piece of data could be found at

The pinyin_table.txt inside that package is from scim (GPLed IME).
And the gen_pinyin.pl from that package is authored by
