hi,
In java we can sort Pinyin like this: (Sun provide a Comparator)
public int compare(String o1, String o2) {
return Collator.getInstance(Locale.CHINESE).compare(o1, o2);
}
But it's got some flaws.
You know there are so many homophones in Chinese.
But in Sun's Comparator they don't equals each other.
Assert.assertTrue(comparator.compare("怕", "帕") != 0); //怕 pà 帕 pà
And the unfamiliar Chinese character never sort userful in this Comparator.
Some like '怡'.
Assert.assertTrue(comparator.compare("怡", "张") > 0); //怡 yí 张 zhāng
With luck, there is a open source project at sf .
http://pinyin4j.sourceforge.net/
So we can Convert Chinese to Pinyin.Then it will be easy.
I can provide a Java code ,some not coding by myself.
