Description
Hi, folks!
In my UBL work I'm switching from Unicode sort order to language sort order in order to sort capitalized abbreviations in order along with leading-capital words. Of course Unicode sort order puts caps in front of lower case and so something has to change.
However, when I change to a language sort, the spaces are being ignored in the collation. I'm using 9HE, is there a collation that respects spaces in sort order in front of letters? I've also tried strength=primary and strength=secondary but, again, the spaces are ignored.
Below is a transcript of the attached test file. I'm trying to get "ISPS Requirements" to sort after "Invoice Line".
Thank you for your guidance!
