Which file is used is determined on installation time, as we have different versions for different language code. The default en file doesn't include sorting for cyrillig or greek, others do. Maybe we should try and create a more complete standard file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Issues with the latter caused me to revisit this topic today. In an interesting chat with Google Gemini, it took existing information from sources in Zebra documentation and the Koha community sites and created a seemingly novel solution for sorting. It suggested that I create a similar file to those mentioned in the instructions on the Koha Wiki, words-icu.xml and phrases-icu.xml. This file, named sort-icu.xml, replaced sort-string-utf.chr in default.idx. Additionally, all three XML files were reconfigured to use the Thai locale, which apparently resolves some distinct challenges with sorting while remaining compatible with other languages. I put this in place on our test server, did a full reindex (without errors), and asked our staff to compare search result sorting between it and our production server. We'll see if Gemini was right – or full of hooey. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I suppose the next step would be for me to post our configuration in the ICU Chains Library? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
