Chemical names start with both upper and lower case as well as Greek
characters. Chemical names also exist in multiple non-western non-latin
languages.
To get lists of chemicals sorting more or less "correctly" I currently
slugify with allow_unicode=True.
This for example gets tert-Butyl... sorted nicely among names starting
with upper-case T.
Unfortunately the α-terpineol or beta this or ε that all sink to the
end of the list instead of sorting into the A, B or Es.
My google-fu indicates I can sort on a property but that is slow. I have
thought about tweaking slugify to include a table of equivalences
between Greek and Western chars but that doesn't necessarily cater for
non-Western character sets. Maybe an ever expanding table of equivalences?
Thanks for any ideas ...
Mike
