Re: [xsl] Sorting in Ancient Greek

sort order is processor specific, but there is a processor independent
way to achieve

   the behaviour we would like is for the
   various different unaccented and accented alphas to be treated as
   equivalent for sorting purposes.

just translate them all to be the same in the xsl:sort

for example

<xsl:sort select="translate(.,
'&#x3AC;&#x3B1;'
'&#x3B1;&#x3B1;'
)"/>

will sort alpha with and without tonos accent as equal.
You just need to extend the two lists of characters...
