Hiya, 

Here's one for the omnipotent collective forum mind: 

I am told by our localization folks that "alphabetical sorting" in asian languages generally follows entirely different sorting rules compared to your basic ascending a-z convention used by latin-type languages (ain't it amazing the things you learn day-to-day). 

My question: when a table sort is run in an Asian-version Frame installation, do the sorting rules adhere to the standard conventions used by those languages? 

Heck, for that matter, does the table sort function even work at all in asian languages?
