However, there are additional consonants which are formed by using two letter combinations. Eg ph is considered one consonant and so are sh, ch, zh, ts, ny. These constants are ordered after the first constant used to create them. "Our alphabet" reads, a,b,c,ch,d,dh, e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,ny,o,p,etc As a result, we want to sort string using this order. eg the words cala, chala, cola should be sorted cala, cola,chala... ch has to come after c. So, how can we include this behavior in LO?You need to add the rules to LC_INDEX section of your locale. (i18npool/source/localedata/data/sid_ET.xml)
Well, yes, but the IndexKey element is only used for Writer's index table feature. General sorting uses collation, defaulting to ICU's Unicode collation rules. If Unicode did not define these exemptions for 'sid' or ICU didn't implement it yet then we'd have to add a language specific rule to i18npool/source/collator/data/
