Is this the same as DIN 5007 : Regeln für die aphabetische Ordnung? This sort order is intended for sorting of proper names only, as in registers, archives, telephone books, etc. If this is the one you need, it is fairly well documented in the IBM document, "Keys to Sort and Search for Culturally Expected Results", IBM DocID GG24-3516-00, available from IBM technical support centers. Or, you can get the DIN standard itself through Germany: DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung Burgegrafenstrasse 6 Postfach 1107 12623 BERLIN 30 tel: +49 30 260 1362 fax: +49 30 260 123 (mostly under construction at present) You can also get standards from Global Engineering (for a price): 1-800-854-7179 Cheers, Mike____ > > Hi, > Does anyone have information or specification for > a collation known as the "German Library" sort? > > Tex > >
