Bugzilla – Bug 17205
Artists with accented characters not correctly sorted in pagebar

Created attachment 7265 [details] Á sorted after Z Artists with accented characters not correctly sorted in 7.6 web interface, i.e. Á sorted after Z (See attachment)
This is a problem only in the pagebar. What I see is that these characters are sorted correctly within lists, but they're not correctly sorted in the pagebar. A character such as Á is sorted at the end of the pagebar, but may point to the first page of the artist list. May I suggest the summary: 'Accented characters not sorted correctly in pagebar'. Also, it's probably best to add the keyword 'onebrowser', since this bug only affects that branch.

Created attachment 7287 [details] À before A I wouldn't call this fixed, I would call this changed... :-)
The sort order is defined by the locale, as used by the DB sorting code. It will vary by language.
I would expect that A would include À, Á, Ä, and other variants..., not a separate entry.
Why? They are, in general, different characters. With a Nordic locale, you will find that Å comes after Z.
Well, in nordic countries the alfabet exists of more than 26 characters, in most other countries it doesn't. My dictionary doesn't list Á, À, etc. , so I don't expect squeezebox server to do this either. i.e. iPeng, Squeeze Commander, (even the Duet Controller?) doesn't list the pagebar in this fashion, neither do many other applications (not squeezebox related).
Neither did pre onebrowser builds...
