Description:
------------
The bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19795 is still not fixed. When using swedish characters and sorting them with strnatcmp and strnatcasecmp the result appears in the wrong order.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function test1($left, $right) {
  return strnatcasecmp($left, $right);
}
function test1b($left, $right) {
  return strcasecmp($left, $right);
}
$names = array('thomas', 'susanne', 'daniel', 'emelie', '?rjan');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'se_SV');
uasort($names, 'test1');
print_r($names);
uasort($names, 'test1b');
print_r($names);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [2] => daniel
    [3] => emelie
    [1] => susanne
    [0] => thomas
    [4] => ?rjan
)
Array
(
    [2] => daniel
    [3] => emelie
    [1] => susanne
    [0] => thomas
    [4] => ?rjan
)



Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [4] => ?rjan
    [2] => daniel
    [3] => emelie
    [1] => susanne
    [0] => thomas
)
Array
(
    [2] => daniel
    [3] => emelie
    [1] => susanne
    [0] => thomas
    [4] => ?rjan
)

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'se_SV') returns bool(false).

Even if the setlocale doesn't work it still gives a correct response with strcmp and strcasecmp which (I think) indicates that the *nat* functions uses another approach than the other compare functions.

Added support for sv_SE so setlocale returns "sv_SE" but it still doesn't work.

This is Andrei's code, according to the notes in the code.

Deassigning since Andrei does not do PHP anymore, it seems.

There's no point in "fixing" this more in PHP_5_2 considering this is so easily addressed by proper localization tool called "intl".
Here's how:

First: "pecl install intl" (and add the extension to be loaded in your php.ini of course :)

Then use this script:

<?php
$coll = collator_create( 'sv_SV' );
$arr = array('thomas', 'susanne', 'daniel', 'emelie', '?rjan');
collator_asort( $coll, $arr, Collator::SORT_STRING );
print_r($arr);
?>

Outputs:

Array
(
    [2] => daniel
    [3] => emelie
    [1] => susanne
    [0] => thomas
    [4] => ?rjan
)
