Sorting Unicode (foreign language words)

[Extension]

Hi,

I have words in Cyrillic-1251 (Ukrainian-Russian) and I want to sort them A-Z but it's only partially working right now. I guess PHP is converting the unicode characters into single-byte characters ??

Any guidance would be appreciated.

What sorting function(s) are you using? Are they in the String function family or the Multibyte string function family?

I'm using ksort (word in contained in key)
The words are in Windows-1251 (CP1251)

It seems to be supported.

Thanks.

I do not know whether ksort() is multibyte aware or not. Since the PHP online manual does not say it it, the function probably is not.

If ksort() is not working for you, my one recommendation is to use uksort() with a multibye-safe or binary-safe comparison function. The online manual states that strcmp() is binary-safe.
