[sword-devel] better UTF-sensitive sort

[DM Smith]

Is ICU4C out of the question? It has support for collation. See: http://site.icu-project.org/design/collation/v2 <http://site.icu-project.org/design/collation/v2>

This was recently pointed out as being poor for UTF-8 strings, and I replaced strcmp with strcoll. This works fine in Linux. Unfortunately, the Win32 version of strcoll believes in UTF-16, even when the locale is set to xx_YY.UTF-8, and this mis-sorts everything, e.g. Čeština lands in the middle of the "A" region.  Are there any suggestions for a suitable comparator I can use with qsort, that won't make me do a huge amount of transcoding everything to UTF-16 when the strings and the app are otherwise entirely driven in UTF-8?
