Re: Error compiling with icu support / possible workaround?

I just checked my 2006 Le Robert Micro: it has

cote < côte < côté

coté appears as a subheading of cote, so I'm not sure it's
clear from this how it is to be ordered.  Not inconsistent
with the French Academy anyway.

Actually the Wikipedia page about the French alphabet agrees with that: "diacritics and ligatures are taken into account only at a third level, after the second level (case). [...] In Quebec French diacritics are considered more important than case." (I hope my translation is not too bad.) Unfortunately they give no reference. As for the "last syllable" rule, I have never heard of it, but the French Academy's dictionary online has cote < côte < coté < côté (https://www.dictionnaire-academie.fr/article/A9C4445?history=2). Anyway I guess that it rarely applies. I will check a recent Robert whenever possible (maybe tomorrow): they introduced a lot of changes in 2010.

>> Concerning French, I checked a few more sources, and some of them seem to hold different views on French collation: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet_fran%C3%A7ais states that diacritics should be disregarded when sorting, except in Quebec French, where accented characters are to appear after their unaccented counterparts. No "last syllable" rule is mentioned at all. In addition, in a printed French dictionary, Le Nouveau Petit Robert (1994), I couldn’t find any explicit rules on sorting, but entries are ordered "cote < coté < côte < côté". Hopefully some native speakers of French will chime in here.
