Interesting. There was so much work done to integrate the globalization classes that I'm surprised we didn't upgrade AC to use them.
IMO, the results of Array.sort with the globalization classes is "correct" and localeCompare is doing a dumb sort. I haven't looked but maybe we documented how to use the globalization classes with AC and the sort test should be doing that. -Alex On 6/5/13 10:54 PM, "Justin Mclean" <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: >Hi, > >> Interesting.
