Re: cyrillic sort order, ru_ru problem

Hi, as I read my e-mails chronologically backwards (newest first), I now see that you need support for a Macedonian locale. I'm not sure about the "mk_MK..." and what it means. I think there's a utility called "lc11" (or similar) that you can run to produce a file "lc11.txt" listing all the IDS supported locales, including specifics like sorting order. Maybe you find some more information there (rather than just looking at directory/file names). Other than that what I wrote in my earlier e-mail (as answer to your later question) still applies.
