Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-4629:
--------------------------------------
Hi Kim,
Where were you thinking of putting the "Examples of case-sensitive and
case-insensitive string sorting" section? From the point of view of reference
material, it's good to have this material where it is today: under the
documentation on URL attributes. But the "Localizing Derby" section is a better
home for this material for someone who is trying to grasp what Derby's
capabilities are. Thanks.

> Key: DERBY-4629
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4629
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Assignee: Kim Haase
>
> The most frequently asked question about Derby's support for
> language-sensitive strings is this: "How do I get Derby to perform
> case-insensitive sorts and comparisons?" I think that the answer to this
> question could be figured out by a reasonably intrepid reader who understood
> a lot about Java's locale and collation support, perhaps supplemented with a
> fair amount of googling.
> If we made the answer to this question really pop out to the casual reader,
> then I think we would do a great service to our users and to developers and
> tech writers who answer questions on the community lists. Perhaps it would be
> sufficient to add a "Case-insensitive strings" section parallel to
> "Character-based collation in Derby" in the Developer's Guide.
