Like with the category thing, we'd have to add a new column to hold the 'normalized' username and sort by that instead. For English 'normalized' can just be all lowercase, but for other languages you'll want to sort accented characters in all sorts of interesting ways. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
