RE: German umlaut sort

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your response (and to the others too :-)
But sorry, I don't understand : what do you mean by tool or software?
In my soft, I'm only launching a FOP cmd under Windows.
And to retrieve my list, a XSLT stylesheet with:

<xsl:for-each select="//*[@tag=$tag]|//*[@tag=$tag2]|//*[@tag=$tag3]">
	<xsl:sort select="."/>

And for the different ordering rules, your right : in my case, I must use the
german swiss ordering sort, which is not the same as the german one. Quite
simple :-) I don't know how to manage this issue with XSL. Maybe any idea for
a workaround?

Thanks
JP

Jean-Pierre,

what Heiko meant: There is not a single "true" German sort order. Thats why
(as I remember) books like dictionaries or phonebooks explain their sorting
inside.

What you get is also dependent on the software and tool you use, as XSLT is
not defining any language sort order.
