Hi,
I'm creating some sorting tables. While researching this topic I stumbled on the Polish dictionary sorting rules: if two strings are equal except for case then the one gets precedence that begins lowercase.[1] (This seems to apply to the Swedish order as well but I have no means to verify that. Apparently, my German dictionary (from 1991) follows the same rule without explicitly stating so.)
Context seems to prefer it the other way round, so I modified two functions from sort-ini.lua to handle that; but I'm not happy with this solution.
So my question: is there already, or could we have some mechanism to influence the details of sorting in context?
i wonder if this works out ok (needs a test index): sorters.replacements["pl"] = { -- no replacements } sorters.entries["pl"] = { ["a"] = "a", ["ą"] = "ą", ["b"] = "b", ["c"] = "c", ["ć"] = "ć", ["d"] = "d", ["e"] = "e", ["ę"] = "ę", ["f"] = "f", ["g"] = "g", ["h"] = "h", ["i"] = "i", ["j"] = "j", ["k"] = "k", ["l"] = "l", ["ł"] = "ł", ["m"] = "m", ["n"] = "n", ["ń"] = "ń", ["o"] = "o", ["ó"] = "ó", ["p"] = "p", ["q"] = "q", ["r"] = "r", ["s"] = "s", ["ś"] = "ś", ["t"] = "t", ["u"] = "u", ["v"] = "v", ["w"] = "w", ["x"] = "x", ["y"] = "y", ["z"] = "z", ["ź"] = "ź", ["ż"] = "ż", } sorters.mappings["pl"] = { ["a"] = 1, ["ą"] = 2, ["b"] = 3, ["c"] = 4, ["ć"] = 5, ["d"] = 6, ["e"] = 7, ["ę"] = 8, ["f"] = 9, ["g"] = 10, ["h"] = 11, ["i"] = 12, ["j"] = 13, ["k"] = 14, ["l"] = 15, ["ł"] = 16, ["m"] = 17, ["n"] = 18, ["ń"] = 19, ["o"] = 20, ["ó"] = 21, ["p"] = 22, ["q"] = 23, ["r"] = 24, ["s"] = 25, ["ś"] = 26, ["t"] = 27, ["u"] = 28, ["v"] = 29, ["w"] = 30, ["x"] = 31, ["y"] = 32, ["z"] = 33, ["ź"] = 34, ["ż"] = 35, } add_uppercase_entries ('pl') add_uppercase_mappings('pl',1) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
