Chris:
How do I sort text so that non-ascii characters like "á" are
treated in the same way as "a"?
The correct solution is a well implemented, well updated and
well debugged Unicode Collation Algorithm, as already answered.
But if an approximation is enough then you could translate to D
this Python code that converts a Unicode string to ASCII, and
use it through a schwartzSort:

(If you translate that function to D, you could also add it to
Dub later.)

Ok, thanks. We'll see.
