Replication Server uses sort order, or collating sequence,
to determine how character data and identifiers are compared and
ordered. Replication Server supports all Sybase-supported sort orders,
including non-binary sort orders. Non-binary sort orders are necessary
for the correct ordering of character data and identifiers in European
languages.
You specify sort orders with the RS_sortorder parameter
in the Replication Server configuration file. You can specify any
Sybase-supported sort order that is compatible with your character
set.
For replication to work properly, all sort orders in your
replication system should be the same.
rs_get_sortorder System Function
Each time Replication Server connects to a data server, it
executes rs_get_sortorder,
which obtains the sort order used by the data server. If it is not what
is expected, Replication Server prints a warning message to the
error log file.
