When you sort text, "nothing precedes everything". Ie. "man woman" precedes
"manic". This is currently not the case when using the Locale da_DK.


import java.text.Collator;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Sort
{
   public static void main (String [] argv)
   {
       String s1 = "DANSKERE";
       String s2 = "DANSK GRAMMATIK I PRAKSIS 1";

       Collator coll = Collator.getInstance (new Locale("da","DK"));
       coll.setStrength(Collator.IDENTICAL);
       int res = coll.compare(s1, s2);
       if (res == 0) {
           System.out.println("[" + s1 + "] equals [" + s2 + "]");
       }
       if (res < 0) {
           System.out.println("[" + s1 + "] is less than [" + s2 + "]");
       }
       if (res > 0) {
           System.out.println("[" + s2 + "] is less than [" + s1 + "]");
       }
   }
}
