Within LC_COLLATE you can specify a sort sequence to use using the cpysyscol keyword. The cpysyscol keyword value is used in place of the LC_COLLATE category definitions. -- Tux rox!

If you were already a prick when you came here (like me) the effect they can have on you is unspeakable. -- Shock me, say something intelligent!

I'm just brutally honest. 8) That would make a good "Devil's Dictionary" entry. prick, n. 1. A person who is brutally honest. 2. Someone other than yourself. -- Tux rox!
