>what I really want is a full description of either a 16-bit or >32-bit character sequences that will include all the roman chars and their >accented chars in a sequence that I can sort on. Keep in mind that sorting methods are locale/implementation-dependent. For example, an English-based sorting system will put Angstrom (with an A-ring) before Zyzzyva, but a Swedish-based sorting system will put them in the opposite order (since A-ring comes after Z). To give a slightly trickier example, a Spanish-based sorting system will put "llama" after "LZH," because "ll" is a separate letter which comes between "l" and "m." ----- John B.
