On most platforms, Open Client and Open Server products include the standard collating sequence files described in Table 6-2:
File name |
Description |
|---|---|
binary.srt |
Ordering corresponds to the internal binary value for each character. binary.srt contains the entry “binary = true”. No localization file is necessary for this sort order. |
dictionary.srt |
Dictionary order, case sensitive. Primary lexicographic ordering with uppercase letters before their lowercase counterparts. Secondary ordering for accented characters. The file name varies according to language. For example, the Spanish version is called espdict.srt. |
noaccents.srt |
Dictionary order, accent insensitive, not case sensitive. Intermingles words that begin with an unaccented letter and words that begin with the letter’s accented counterparts. The file name varies according to language. For example, the Spanish version is called espnoac.srt. |
nocase.srt |
Dictionary order, not case sensitive. Intermingles words that begin with an uppercase letter with words that begin with the lowercase counterpart. The file name varies according to language. For example, the Spanish version is called espnocs.srt. |
nocasepref.srt |
Dictionary order, not case sensitive, with preference for uppercase only when there is a lowercase equivalent. |
If a language you are using has further collating sequence requirements, you can create a custom collating sequence file according to the guidelines in “About collating sequence files”.
