Re: [Tiki-devel] Unicode-aware sort plugin

Hi Volker,

Looks good. Just a small note that Collator depends on enchant library 
and might not be available on all systems. I think you should make the 
use of Collator sort optional - if the feature is not present, fall back 
to original sorting methods.

Thanks,
Victor
