Does the “strcoll” function in Python’s standard “locale” module do the right thing when a Japanese locale is set? If not, can you persuade the PyICU package to do the right thing? If either of these works, then you could slurp your results into a Python list and then sort the list using one of these methods. This wouldn’t perform too well, of course, if you had thousands and thousands of results and you wanted the database to peel off the top ten... but if for some reason collation at the database level isn’t working, doing it all at the Python level might be better than nothing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
