Re: register sorting

[Steffen Wolfrum <context@st.estfiles.de>]

Hi Hans,

I tested all the combinations that Jano set up (see below) and additionally tried the same, but used ch instead of uc.

But none of these runs gave this sorting result:

East Prussia
Eastern enlargement
East-West Institute

I would would sort it  this way, but maybe I am simply wrong?


Regards, Steffen
