[REBOL] Czech Sort (was Re: I miss ..., bug in to-local-file ...)
From: gjones05::mail::orion::org at: 9-Jun-2001 7:23
Hi, PeKr, Cyphre, (Ladislav, others?), Volker,
I was distracted last night trying to figure out the plugin problem for IE.
Many hours spent; nothing to show for it.
Anyway, this morning I completed my reference table. Some of the letters were
very tricky to find. I basically scanned PeKr's companies pages for the
letters, then looked at the source to determine the single byte code/char
representation. I think I can read Czech now .... not! ;-)
I used a language list reference to get all the alphabet. This list did not
list "ch" as a separate character. I tried to put the letters in order based on
the references I found and PeKr's instructions. This list follows the
questions. Please look over the list to check for completeness and accuracy of
order (hopefully I got the byte codes correct).
First, my questions:
1) Does the uppercase version of "ch" look like "Ch" or "CH"?
2) A sort/case in REBOL normally puts the uppercase versions before the lower
case versions. Would this be acceptable? PeKr mentioned that "lowercase
letters first, uppercase follows". Does this mean that a sort/case should
ideally put the lower case version before an upper case version?
Now, for my reference table. The column abbreviations may be obvious (-:, but
here is the translation:
Dec: Decimal representation of the single computer byte representation of the
letter
UnD: The decimal representation of the Unicode word (meaning 2 bytes) for the
letter (here for future use, if needed)
L: ASCII letters linguist use to refer to letters
UnHx: Unicode Hex for the letter
Description: Linguistic description of letters
Reference table version 0.1 (I have a lot of confidence, don't I? ;-)

I look forward to hearing from you and the next step (by the way, Volker, I only
briefly looked through your code last night for the reason I've already
explained; I will look more carefully when I go to the next step. Thanks!)
