locale and string sorting
Hello, I am working on a PRPC 6.2 application with german/french/italian users, and I am trying to sort a drop down alphabetically.
The Obj-Sort does not fulfill the requirements, as the "national characters" end up at the bottom of the list (eg: 'ä' ends up after 'z', as the value is higher).
I found references to a Collator class/interface, to be used for sorting based on the locale settings.
Is there any similar sorting functionality in PRPC or do I need to implement it on my own?
Thanks a lot

Hi Paolo,
Are you using a Data Page (a.k.a. Declare Page) to obtain the list of values for the drop down or are you using a Local List in the Property Definition? If using a Local List in the Property Definition you can manually set the order in which you want the values to appear.

Paolo,
I dont think there is any OOTB way to do it.. I recommend to reach out to Pega with a SR (request for information). They can confirm if there is any OOTB way to do it.. if not, for time being, we may have to implement our own custom functions..
Based on request, Pega may come up with a enhancement fix.
Give it a try.
