Actually, tags might be the best, as you can put strings in them and
they could then be used to hold the multiple-letter

By George, I think you've done it! At least it appears to sort the

One possible improvement in the creation of the rule would be to allow
for some of the strings in blocks to be treated as a collection of
seperate characters, perhaps by using a different string datatype to

Well, not so great, actually. The new version's faster, but not

markedly so. Perhaps 30% faster going by the single test of a long
list of random words I did, though it's still 7 or 8 times slower than
REBOL's sort. Maybe if it was all done with parsing it'd be faster,
but I'd have to re-think it all.

The idea did look promising, even for the multi-letter graphemes
