Hello,
Tibetan or Dzongkha sorting do not work properly with the current locale
data.
With the following test file:
$ cat tibt_order_test.txt
ལྔ
ང
ཅ
རྔ
སྔ
བརྔ
བསྔ
I get the following wrong result:
$ LC_COLLATE="dz_BT.utf8" sort tibt_order_test.txt
ང
བརྔ
བསྔ
རྔ
ལྔ
སྔ
ཅ
The correct result would be
ང
རྔ
ལྔ
སྔ
བརྔ
བསྔ
ཅ
Dz and bo have the same collation data in CLDR.
See https://github.com/eroux/tibetan-collation for more on tibetan
collation.
Result of locale -a:
bo_CN
bo_CN.utf8
bo_IN
bo_IN.utf8
C
C.UTF-8
dz_BT
dz_BT.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_US.utf8
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX
Thank you,
