I understand, but we don't have the collation code in QtCore either. Making QCollator public, in QtCore, before we even have a strawman implementation to prove that it can be done is very risky. We might end up with a failed non-ICU implementation, which in turn means ICU becomes a hard dependency on *all* platforms. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
