I think I have found a bug in the function 'sort'. It does not sort correct with norwegian letters. The norwegian alphabeth is made of 29 letters. The three last ones are spesial for norway (and sweden and denmark).
Heres a sample of our alphabeth:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz???
And here are some code...
<?
// List of norwegian names, with norwegian letters
$to_be_sorted = array(mamma, ?yvind, sondre, v?rner, ?rlend, odd, hedvig, ?smund, birgit);
sort($to_be_sorted);
for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($to_be_sorted); $i ++) {
echo $to_be_sorted[$i]."<br>\n";
}
?>
This prodused this putput:
birgit
hedvig
mamma
odd
sondre
v?rner
?smund
?rlend
?yvind
But it should have been:
birgit
hedvig
mamma
odd
sondre
v?rner
?rlend
?yvind
?smund
Yours H?kon Flat?y

The sort() function isn't locale aware. Use this instead: <? // List of norwegian names, with norwegian letters $to_be_sorted = array(mamma, ?yvind, sondre, v?rner, ?rlend, odd, hedvig, ?smund, birgit); setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "no_NO"); usort($to_be_sorted, "strcoll"); print_r($to_be_sorted); ?> http://www.php.net/strcoll http://www.php.net/setlocale --Jani
