Andrew bart David sophie Wayne Why in hell do you switch caseness for similar objects?
Who said anything about objects? Maybe, I should have said subjects.
Your example strings seem to name persons. It is very strange (and should be punished, as it is by Python's default sort ;-)) to use caseness inconsistently for these same type subjects/objects/entities (whatever you like). I am not against an option to specify what comparison function should be used for sorting (when I would implement it, I would probably follow Python's sort interface and provide an optional function rather than have a collection of attributes specifying the sort order). However, I am against a change of the sort order in the *management interface* (unless I can easily switch back). The reason: I make sensible use of the ASCII based sort order and would not like to loose it. Dieter
