Re: [Zope-dev] dtml-in: sort is not locale-aware

Hello!

Currently dtml-in does not use locale when sorting the sequence. Before creating a patch I want to discuss a way dtml-in should handle this. The problem is that list.sort() does not sort according to koi8-r cyrillic locale; to make sort locale-aware I need to list.sort(locale.strcoll). But how I could ask dtml-in to use locale.strcoll? Should I add another option to dtml-in? Something like <dtml-in somesequence sort=name use_locale> ?

I use <dtml-in "ru_sort( somesequence)"> A bit slower but works like hammer. Mike
