RowGrouping does not work on Hebrew columns

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to use RowGrouping on a table. 

The table has many columns, some are numbers, some dates, and some Hebrew words.

RowGrouping works great on all of the columns beside the Hebrew words columns. 

Should this work fine with no-Latin letters, all UTF-8 chars ?

Thanks in advance,

Nir

Hi,

do you have some online example. I have not used it that way but I don't know 
why it should not work.

Thanks,
Jovan

After issue 7 patch grouping by Cyrillic strings shows only first group

Use simple grouping on column with Cyrillic symbols (maybe, any non-ascii127 
characters - at least Hebrew too).

Only first grouping row inserted into table.

Reproduced under Windows 7 64 bit in Chrome 18.0.1025.162 and Internet Explorer 
9.0.8112.16421.

Problem is in line 122:
return sGroup.toLowerCase().replace(/\W+/g, "-");
returns '-' for cyrillic strings.

Maybe general solution should use reversible encoding (like Punicode or so), 
but in my simplest case replacing line 306 does the work for me:
--if (sLastGroup == null || _fnGetCleanedGroup(sGroup) != 
_fnGetCleanedGroup(sLastGroup)) {
++if (sLastGroup == null || sGroup != sLastGroup) {
