Sort Order different to Apple's #172

Closed onato closed 3 years ago

onato commented 4 years ago

Where does the sort order come from? It is different from the order in the emoji keyboard on iOS and the Character Viewer in OSX.

Also, where does the category come from? The jack_o_lantern, for example, has a "category" : "Activities", but Apple has it in Smileys & People.

@onato Not sure about this library, but the order is defined by the Unicode spec.

onato commented 4 years ago

Apple and this library both have a different order to the Unicode values. I assume this library has taken the arbitrary order from another platform.

Previous versions of this library used the Apple sort order, but we've been using the Unicode sort order since v4.0.1
