sorting in different language

[acarur01]

I had an inquiry about sorting in different languages - For example I have the following data. In Turkish, ç comes after c - if you sort by name in the listgrid, ç comes BEFORE c, but sorting with the text column, ç comes after c. What is the proper way to make the sorting work for a particular language? I've tried to just switch the browser language to turkish but it does not make a difference.

testData = [
{
name: "aa",
text: "aa"
},
{
name: "bb",
text:"bb"
},
{
name: "cc",
text:"cc"
},
{
name: "ç",
text:"çç"
}
]

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "countryList",
    width:500, height:224, alternateRecordStyles:true,
    data: testData,fields:[{name:"name"},{name:"text"}]
})

We're using browser-native sorting (String.localeCompare()), so, whatever browser you're seeing this in (you didn't mention) either it's localeCompare() has a bug or you don't fully understand Turkish sorting rules :)

I was using Firefox to test - I'm getting my information from a Turkish person, so naturally, I believe her. I also looked it up on wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_alphabet

Capital letters
A B C Ç D E F G Ğ H I İ J K L M N O Ö P R S Ş T U Ü V Y Z
Lower case letters
a b c ç d e f g ğ h ı i j k l m n o ö p r s ş t u ü v y z

And on http://www.princeton.edu/~ehgilson/alpha.html - says the exact same thing. So, if you know of some other "Turkish sorting rule" please do enlighten me.

Again, if the sorting is not correct, it would be a native browser bug. There is no feasible way to write replacement locale-sensitive comparators that would be in the ballpark of fast enough, so you'll need to file a bug against Firefox.

Acarur01,

Did u find a solution to that??

No, we resolved it as not fixable

Just an update:

We discover that Internet Explorer sort the data correctly in Turkish but Chrome do it wrong. Just looking for other browsers.

Firefox also sort correctly.
