Yes, everyone is correct that the .next() method on a Lexicon/Dictionary
module will show the next value in the index-- not necessarily the next
value alphabetized in any humanly useful order.
The purpose for the index is fast lookups.
We have a few issues to solve here and DM and others have g

I'm pretty sure you're right about what Sword is actually doing, but I
believe it's also codepoint order, just b
I'm not sure if I am reading the Sword code correctly, but it appears
that it is sorting at a byte level and not a character level. That
isn't by code points.
I think that we discussed this a little bit ago and concluded that
some work needs to be done in the engine.

Is this really only a Vietnamese problem, but will not all latinate
scripts with extra signs have exactly the same problem?
Or actually all scripts which are treated as derrived scripts - Farsi,
urdu and Malay from Arabic, Tajik, Uzbek, Azeri from Russian etc - the

Chris,
I imagine that with most languages, sorting according to unicode
codepoint order works, but for Vietnamese it doesn't, probably because
the majority of letters are standard Latin characters, but then some
are less usual ("đ" being a good example).
This is probably very low on the prio
Daniel,
The order of keys in an LD module is according to the codepoint order in
Unicode. They keys are kept in this order in order to permit binary
searching. There is currently no way to perform localized collation.
The platform and locale shouldn't play a role in this. If they do, it's

I am working on creating dictionary modules based on the Free Vietnamese
Dictionary Project. The Vietnamese-English dictionary is working, but
some words are not in alphabetical order, and I am trying to find out
how to maintain the original alphabetization.
I noticed this when all of the words
