Well, not completely. :) For testing, i've restored the file from before my change, and it missorts similarly. I'm probably too stupid to understand all of this collate stuff. So far, i haven't been able to come up with any locale definition that does the right thing for every input. To make matters worse, German doesn't even have a single collate defintion at all. There are at least two dissenting definitions: one is the phonebook sorting order, and the other one (certainly more widely accepted and thus should be the base of our collate definition) the `Duden' (German dictionary). According to my Duden, the following words Maße Maßeinheit Masse Massaua Massel should be sorted like: Massaua Maße Masse Maßeinheit Massel If anybody could come up with a set of collate definition files that does this, it probably would be the right thing. ;) Maybe it's simply impossible to express using the current collate stuff? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wun...@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
