Right, first you have to establish your sort algorithm. Do it manually on paper first with a sampling of data. Most romanic languages would be relatively easy...however it's not all trivial. What comes first? é è ê ë ? What about special characters limited in even romanic languages? þ Ð ð in Icelandic. ß in German
And then Asian languages, would you sort by the romanization? or sort by their native character representation. Do it on paper, then get it into code :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308871 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
