Description Joachim Noreiko 2006-06-11 07:52:06 UTC 
It appears that the sort order in a yelp table of contents is case-sensitive.

Looking at the list of documents under Accessories, bzip, gcalctool, and gedit come after Zenity. This isn't what a user might expect.

(I don't know if bzip should be in this category, and I'm not entirely sure about having manual titles begin with a lowercase letter, but I still think this should be fixed.)

Yeah, the sorting happens inside XSLT (lines 130 and 144 of toc2html.xsl).  In libxslt, xsl:sort always gives you basic ("C" locale) sorting.  See bug #152501.

Doing proper locale-dependant sorting would be difficult in XSLT.  Even case-insenstive sorting for western language isn't trivial once you step outside of ASCII.  The best solution, I think, is to leverage the sorting routines we have access to in C, and sort the entries as we add them.  Then we'd remove the xsl:sort elements from toc2html.xsl.

(I also think it shouldn't be as big of an issue as it turns out to be (at least in English), because lowercase titles are evil.)
