Replication Server uses sort orders, or collating sequences, 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.
To change the default or Unicode sort order, follow the procedure provided in “Changing the character set and sort order”. Although changing the default sort order requires only changing the value of the RS_sortorder parameter in the Replication Server configuration file, follow the steps provided in the procedure to ensure that no replicate data is corrupted by the change.
To make sure that data and identifiers are ordered consistently
across your replication system, configure all Replication
Server components with the same sort order.
