Hi, I think we should wait until we decide exactly what we are doing with collation in C first. If we are aiming to get exactly the same collation in C as in Perl, then I don't think we should have a separate option for this. If collation with C allows something different, then we could have an option. There is the issue of language-specific tailoring which could be potentially achieved with locale-based sorting in C.
