Unicode Barcode / Spine Label Soring Issue
Dear All, During customization work we are facing problem to sort (ascending / descending) Barcode / Spine Label those are entered in regional language esp. Bengali, Hindi etc. (in Unicode). Example: For numeric digits - while sorting a series of numbers like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 - it (barcode / spine) generate as ১,১০,১১,১২,১৩,১৪,১৫,২,৩,৪,৫,৬,৭,৮,৯ (1,10,11,12,13,14,15,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) For Alphabetic characters - the characters are not just like A,B,C,D. This are something completely different (for languages like Bengali, Hindi)- like অ,আ,ক,খ etc. Although we are using Unicode compliant keyboard layout such as Bengali Provat India (UTF-8), but this sorting is not working exactly as desired. Please help. -- Via Vitae Solutions Kolkata - 700064 India

^^ escaped Unicode code points. What I would do in this case would be track down the code that is sending up that output and then figure out a way to fix that. :-) btw, the first principal of asking for help on this list is to mention on which version of Koha you are working on. The current stable version is 3.20.1. hth, -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.
