I'd sort it that way, so immediately you know it's wrong... :) From http://www.fact-index.com/d/di/diacritic.html : (googling "diacritical sort letters") Different languages use different rules to put diacritic characters in alphabetical order. French and German treat letters with diacritical marks the same as the underlying letter for purposes of ordering and dictionaries, but in German phone books the umlauts are treated as combinations of the vowel with a suffixed 'e'. The Scandinavian languages, by contrast, treat the diacritics as new and separate letters of the alphabet, and sort them after z. Other languages treat diacritically marked letters as variants of the underlying letter, but alphabetize them following the unmarked letter. In Spanish � is considered a new letter different from n and placed between n and o, however, acute accents and diaeresis are ignored. - Al - -- -- Alan Weiner -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.ajw.com Palm OS Certified Developer -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
