Hi, I was wondering if anyone has the Sort by Title (A-Z) working properly in Koha. Currently, any foreign language materials that have titles in languages that use non-Latin alphabets do not sort by title correctly. Here is an example OPAC search for Russian films: http://catalog.egarc.ku.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&idx=kw&idx=kw&limit=callnum%2Cwrdl%3ARUSS&limit=mc-itype%2Cphr%3ADVD&limit=mc-itype%2Cphr%3ARDVD&sort_by=title_az&do=Search. Koha seems to sort the results by character count ... but there is no alphabetizing at all. Two records with Вий as the title are listed as #3 and #6; with identical titles, they should be next to each other.
I found this post (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha/19912/match=cyrillic+title), and I think it will do what we want. However, I am curious about other languages that are script-based (e.g., Mandarin, Korean, etc.) or that read Left-to-Right (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic, etc.). Is there some sort of catch-all to make this work? Or how are others addressing the issue? Creating Reports in Koha that sort by title do in fact alphabetize correctly, so it seems to be a limitation of the search/Zebra rather than Koha as a whole.
