Well, I guess you demonstrated that your particular comparison wasn't transitive. FWIW, I just tried it in the debugger on my US-locale 10.7.3, and I get: (lldb) p (NSComparisonResult)[@"laßt" localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:@"laso"] (NSComparisonResult) $11 = 1 It's starting to look like a bug in 10.6.8, except that I have no idea why you & I got different answers in 10.7.3. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
