Objet : RE: [xsl] German umlaut sort

I must admit I have not read the entire thread...

from what I remember from a recent project in
which I needed a non standard Chinese sorting,
msxml supports most of the locales through the OS.
You can simply bind to a locale using the lang attribute
<xsl:sort lang="de-CH"/>
will likely do the trick
not sure if this standard or not, and if it would work for you, but
  <xsl:sort lang="zh-CN"/>
worked amazingly well for me on msxml
