You should see how windows tries to alphabetize hebrew! Actually, XP
is not so bad (unless the hebrew has vowels), but what is annoying is
the inconsistency. Winamp (not a MS product) and Media Player 10
organize differently- and neither of them are correct!
I suppose that I could add hebrew to your function. I would just
replace every hebrew character with ? as hebrew is not mixed in with
latin letters in normal usage (nor is it very compatable). Would you
like me to send to you the function afterward?
