Collator for da_DK(Danish-Denmark) Locale doesn't compare
certain characters correctly.
The following comparisons should be true:

Strength Comparison
PRIMARY : "\u007a" < "\u00e6"
SECONDARY: "\u00e6" = "a\u0308"
SECONDARY: "a\u0308" = "\u00c6"
TERTIARY : "a\u0308" < "\u00c6"
SECONDARY: "\u00c6" = "A\u0308"

according to order specified in
src/share/classes/java/text/resources/LocaleElements_da.java:

" & Z < \u00e6, a\u0308 , \u00C6, A\u0308"

However JDK1.2 produces false for all of them using the following
localizations:
da_DK, no_no, no_NO_B and sv_SE

The following tests are failed due to this error:

api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#da_DK_Collator,
api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#no_NO_Collator,
api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#no_NO_B_Collator,
api/java_util/localeData/secondaryLocale.html#sv_SE_Collator.
 
An example below produces the following output:
--------------output----------------
failed: a\u0308 >= \u00c6

--------------Coll_DA_DK_fails.java--------------------
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.Collator;

class Coll_DA_DK_fails {

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
Locale da = new Locale("da", "DK");
Collator col = Collator.getInstance(da);

col.setStrength(Collator.TERTIARY);
if (col.compare("\u0061\u0308", "\u00c6") >= 0) {
System.out.println("failed: a\\u0308 >= \\u00c6");
} else {
System.out.println("OK");
}
