Re: Character conversions?

Hello Lars,
are You using struts tags to display the values ?

as http://struts.apache.org/struts-taglib/tagreference-struts-bean.html
the <Bean:Write> tag has a Filter attribute that can be set to false 
(default is true)

Your sorting may not work because java compares the chars using decimal 
character conversion, so 'Å' is not equal 'A' and will not be grouped 
toghether.

Checkout first if the HTMLization is made by struts. If Yes i may search 
some code to convert 'Å' -> 'A' and then you perform the sort.

BR,
Lorenzo
