Subject: German Library Sort
Cc: i18n@dkuug.dk

Michael,
Thanks.
I thought I did look yesterday but didn't see
one that stood out as German Library. I will check again.

Still, it would be nice to have a definition in
addition to an implementation to check against.
Is there a German Standards Organization that I
can query?

Is "library" a euphemism or is this a standard
employed by libraries? Perhaps there is a library
organization I can inquire of...
