Description Denis Jacquerye 2007-04-06 19:04:17 UTC 
It would be awesome to be able to select which locale you want to use when sorting.

For example, I'm working on bilingual tables.
I want to be able to sort according to the order of language X for a sheet and according the order of language Y for another.
Right now the only way I know is to run Gnumeric with LC_ALL=X, sort the first sheet, the run Gnumeric with LC_ALL=Y, sort the second sheet.
Comment 1 Morten Welinder 2007-04-07 02:29:34 UTC 
Sounds reasonable (and is not unlike what we do for text import).
Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2007-04-14 20:39:15 UTC 
Could you provide a sample file in which sorting should be different
based on selected locale, please?
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2007-04-16 00:45:14 UTC 
Never mind, fixed in trunk.  This sample works just fine.  The first two
elements ought to behave the same in da_DK and the third should come
before the first two.
