What are you saying here? At first you sound as though you are arguing for a single, standard sorting order across all countries, languages, alphabets in teh world, and here you seem to say it should be character set specific.

In any case, there is no way you are ever going to get a standard sorting order for the whole world.

------------- There already is one. The Unicode specification already specifies collation order for all the languages it covers. I'm pointing out that for the Latin character set the A-Z sort before a-z.
