Hi Jean-Luc,
I tried working a little bit with your samples on my side and I think I
managed to make this work.
In the Oxygen libraries directory "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\lib" there is a
JAR library called "icu4j.jar". It is an incomplete version of a larger
ICU4J library which can be downloaded from:
http://site.icu-project.org/download/59#TOC-ICU4J-Download
Once you have the "icu4j-59_1.jar", move the original "icu4j.jar" from
the Oxygen library folder to some other place and replace it with this
larger JAR library.
Also the xsl:sort in the XSLT worked only if I used this syntax:
<xsl:sort select="." collation="http://www.w3.org/2013/collation/UCA?lang=ta"/>
I do not know much about the values that the collation attribute takes,
but this was in one of the examples on the Saxonica documentation page:
http://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation/xsl-elements/sort.html

The title of this message says it all:
Is Tamil among the languages for which a specific collation is available
when using Oxygen?
I have to sort items in the Tamil alphabetical order,
but when I specify that « lang="ta" »
as a parameter in my sort command,
the order I obtain is the one which is based
on the Unicode codepoint collation,
which is not what one expects while sorting Tamil words
The same thing happens if I define
a parameter such as
<xsl:param name="sorting-collation"
select="'http://saxon.sf.net/collation?lang=ta'"/>
and then use it in a sort command
<xsl:sort select="." collation="{$sorting-collation}"/>
To give a specific example
the following short list is extracted from a much longer list
which is part of an HTML file
created by applying an XSLT file
(containing SORT commands)
to an XML file
<ul>
<li>அத்தத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
<li>அனந்தன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனற்பொறியின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனற்றிரளின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனுடத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
<li>அமரமாதர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 2 items]</li>
<li>அரக்கர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
<li>அருகன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 43 items]</li>
</ul>
HOWEVER, this is not the proper Tamil dictionnary order order, which
should be:
<ul>
<li>அத்தத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
<li>அமரமாதர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 2 items]</li>
<li>அரக்கர் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
<li>அருகன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 43 items]</li>
<li>அனந்தன் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனற்பொறியின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனற்றிரளின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 1 items]</li>
<li>அனுடத்தின் பெயர் [head-word ABOVE 7 items]</li>
</ul>
Any suggestions would be appreciated
