Sort order doesn't respect the user's locale

[Raphaël Hertzog]

I have created a task "Écriture" and when I sort my task list by title, it doesn't get sorted where any french-speaking user expect it, i.e. near the others task starting with the unaccented letter "E". This bug might disappear alone once you internationalize the app, in that case feel free to convert the bug into "Please internationalize the app".

Could anyone with i18n skills tell us if this could be resolved by
internationalizing the app?

I haven't looked at the sources, how is the sort done ? If it's handled by
the GTK+ component, then most likely yes. If you handle it yourself, it
depends on how you do it. You should use strcoll() (or the equivalent in
python…) to do the string comparison.

Ok, thanks for the information. We do the sorting, not GTK since we
must enable reordering on the tree. I'll inspect for strcoll() for
comparison.
