Re: [icu-support] Collation in ICU 3.4 with ALTERNATE SHIFTED -strange results

[Scott M. <Sco...@sa...>]

I'm referring to the strings "2004", "2010", and "23".  Numeric =
collation is NOT on.  I'm not sure what code snippet you'd want.  It's a =
standard instantiation of a collator along with option settings.

This may well be a problem in my usage of the ICU, which is why I'd like =
a sanity check.  Is there a demo page running 3.4?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

are you referring to strings "2004" "2010" "23" or code points? Do you =
have numeric collation turned on or off? Could you provide the code =
snippet?

Thank you very much for reporting this.

Regards,
v.
