Guy,
It appears that the natural sort works with unicode characters - at least in
FF3. This is due to the fact that it uses the browser's built in comparison
operators (< and >) on strings - even unicode characters. Other sorts I've
seen rely on translating blocks of strings with solely [:[alpha]:] or a
/[\D]{1,}/. I'll put a better test case together on my site so you can see
the unicode sorting and I'll test other browsers, but I would imagine they
would work the same considering this uses the built in comparisons. The
catch will be ensuring this sorts appropriately on mixed unicode and numeric
digit fields.
I just tested with the appending to the beginning of some cell's text some
arabic characters in the 600 block, i.e. '\u0631', '\u0632', etc.
I'll let you know when the test case is done!
Thanks for the input!
