2006/5/3, Marc Santhoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi,

from digging the sources I know, that on Unix-like Systems the
comparison of strings is done according to the current locale (Pascals
"strcomp" is mapped to C-libs "strcoll").

Can I assume that this is done similar on all other platforms, too?

At least where is is possible, I mean where the OS supports locales

I'm asking myself if I have to consider something special when sorting
strings or if a comparison using the RTL function will allways be
"correct" (not talking of special sort orders for rarely occuring
cases).

Yes, if for any reason you stumble upon a bug it is most probably due to miss configuring the OS locale definitions.
