Re: [libreoffice-users] sort order

Thank you, yes it does. I got it to work with Greek iota which is about the least obtrusive. 
Strangely (to my mind) some less obtrusive characters with higher unicode *dont* work. Its a bit of 
a mystery whats going on, i can only surmise that there is somewhere a table of 'blacklisted' 
characters which are not taken into account for sorting purposes. This new (ish) sort order lark 
has been a right pain in the proverbials for me, generally speaking. I'll now just scour the table 
in the hope of finding something even better but at least there is *something* that'll work

Thanks,
G.

 These are not punctuation marks, but a bit of
 experimentation 
 suggests that any Greek character, upper or lower case, will
 serve.
 
 I trust this helps.
