setCollator

public static void setCollator()

Loads the collator instance to use for sorting. If a sorting rule has been specified in the server.ini, a RuleBaseCollator based on that sorting rule will be created.

If no sorting rule was specified, or if the creation of the RuleBasedCollator failed (because of error in rule string), a default collator based US locale will be used. No other locale will be used, due to a bug in JDK 1.1 and 1.2, e.g. because Swedish collator has wrong ordering, sort order bug (A and a after Z and z)!
