    Hello,

    I'm french and I have a small sorting problem with python (and zope's
    zcatalog):

    In a python shell python, try :

    'é' > 'z'

    The answer is true. Then if you try

    test=['a','b','f','é','z']
    print test.sort()

    You almost get :

    ['a','b','f','z','é']

    That's not what we want :-)

    Any help will be greatly appriciated.

    PS : I got the same behaviour with zope's zcatalog during a sort_on request.
    Even if I start zope with the correct linux locale (fr_FR).

    THX

    Laurent.
