Re: [icu-support] Testing collation

[Markus S. <mar...@gm...>]

We should clarify the documentation, thanks for pointing it out.

The German sorting standard (DIN 5007) has two sort orders: A dictionary
order and a phonebook/names list order (Namenslisten). The phonebook order
works as described.

ICU offers both, you can get the phonebook order with "de@collation
=phonebook".

In the online demo, near the top you can change the sort order. Try this:

Best regards,
markus
