Subject: RE: [dita] Groups - Issue 45a: Add sort order [ as a global function ]
Hi JoAnn, If I may, would your question be adequately served by a collection-wide specification of language and locale? Then the processing could use a sort order that is locale-specific, subject to overrides within the explicit sort-order directives on individual instances. If there are individual locales that use multiple sort orders, then we'd need standard names for the alternate sort orders, or at least a place to enter a name for a sort order that the processing could pick up and act upon. The same setting could also determing glossary alphabetization.

The result would be b ... z a Of course, this is a fictional example but it would enable users to correct for the sort order in various languages that is different from a standard sort.
