2006-11-30 21:42:19 Áron Sisak description "Most people use their full name here." -- however names including other characters then ASCII (e.g., ä, á, é, í, ó, etc.) get to the end of the list when it is sorted alphabetically. However, 'á' should be put between 'a' and 'b', 'é' between 'e' and 'f' etc. This is a problem for me, because I don't want so see my name at the end of a list :-), and for others as well, if they are looking for someone with this kind of name. Do you think it is a localization issue? In the team members list, where "Most people use their full name here", names including other characters then ASCII (e.g., ä, á, é, í, ó, etc.) get to the end of the list when it is sorted alphabetically.

Do you think it is a localization issue? In a list of team members, names starting with diacritic characters (ä, á, é, í, ó, etc.) are sorted last, instead of together with the non-diacritic versions of the same letters. For example, in <https://launchpad.net/people/bugsquad>, "Áron Sisak" is ordered last in the list of members but should be with the rest of the As. This makes the list harder to scan. Instead, sorting should ignore diacritics unless they are the only thing distinguishing one name from another. Compare bug 5417, about searching for names regardless of diacritic; the fixes for these bugs may use the same cached non-diacritic version.
