FR: Support non-ASCII characters #2

Open stevenroose opened 4 years ago

stevenroose commented 4 years ago

This crate doesn't seem to work with non-ASCII characters. Sorting French or Spanish words, let alone Chinese or Japanese words don't seem to be working correctly.

magiclen commented 4 years ago

Could you provide some examples?

stevenroose commented 4 years ago

It seemed that sorting complex unicode based languages is quite impossible. So nevermind. Even though I think sorting latin characters with accents next to their corresponding letter without accent would be nice.

For anyone else looking into this, you would be looking into an implementation of the Unicode Collation algorithm
