I have PHP 5.0.0 release with same bug (with cyrillic characters). I've analized sources and found out that comparison is made on "char" values. So all extended characters (with hi-order bit 1) treated as negative. Changing "char" to "unsigned char" would place national characters after english characters (greater in terms of compare), that is correct, but locale-specific collation problem will remain. This is not important for CP1251 or CP866 cyrillic encodings, because theese already have characters sorted by values correctly. But there will be problem for KOI8-R encoding (for which this is not the case). The problem can be easily solved by using "strcoll" (in place of dumb value compare), I guess.

The comparison is simply by byte values, not taking character set or locale into account. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-28 14:55:26] mikael at chl dot chalmers dot se This bug seems to have popped back again in version 4.3.7 When using setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sv_SE') the national chars והצ get sorted before other international chars, they should appear at the bottom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-16 16:11:22] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS.
