The MiniVend [sort database:field] keys will use the
LC_COLLATE setting for a locale provided that:
It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss these issues, and you should contact your system administrator or local wizard to help you set up locales on your system. NOTE: Windows locales are not supported for sorting.
If you had this arbitrary database named letters:
code letter
00-0011 f
99-102 é
19-202 a
and this loop:
[loop 19-202 00-0011 99-102]
[sort letters:letter]
[loop-data letters letter] [loop-code]
[/loop]
Using the default C setting for LC_COLLATE it would display:
a 19-202
f 00-0011
é 99-102
If the proper
LC_COLLATE settings for locale fr_FR were in effect, then it would become:
a 19-202
é 99-102
f 00-0011
