* How does locale affect other things. For example: - does LC_COLLATE change the sort order? No, because we are using strcmp to implement the lexicographic order used when sorting strings. That function uses the integer character codes for the comparison. Is that the behaviour users want? I imagine that French users would expect an e-acute to appear near the unaccented e and Germans would like their sharp-S to appear near the normal S. And presumably the Spanish like their N-with-squiggle to be near the naked N. We could use strcoll instead, but then the sorting will depend on the locale. -- Jose E.
