Well, a good thing I didn't post my reply to that posting, then ;-) Seriously: thanks.

I don't own a copy, but at http://www.sprakradet.se/nya-avsnitt-skrivregler they mention that this edition has "additional comments on the collation of v and w". > so sadly it seems that we'll have to > keep Swedish with insane sorting in the future too (unless there's some > way to provide a variant). Just for the record, I think most sv_SE people don't mind the current rule. I suspect most feel w is more of a "real" letter of the alphabet than ü and é -- but still somehow less real than v. I think I'll stop babbling here, before you change your minds ... Clint: does this mean you'll reopen #506784, "locales: sv_SE locale still fails to collate 'v' and 'w' correctly"? regards, Jörgen -- // Jörgen Grahn | mot du jour: HEAT SHIELD \X/ <grahn@snipabacken.se> |
