Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22921
Alphabetical indexes in some languages created in wrong order
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When creating alphabetical indexes, Croatian characters (i. e. words beginning with those characters): - c with caron (unicode codes: capital - U+0106, small - U+0107), - c with acute (capital - U+010C, small - U+010D), - d with stroke (capital - U+0110, small - U+111), - s with caron (capital - U+0160, small - U+0161) and - z with caron (capital - U+017D, small - U+017E) are not in their places ("c with caron" and "c with acute" should come after "c", "d with stroke" after "d", "s with caron" after "s", "z with caron" after "z"), but appear in the beginning of the sorted list, all of them before the letter "a". If those characters are in the middle of the word, they behave as if they didn't have the diacritical mark (e. g. "c with caron" is put in the same place as "c"). On the other hand, when you sort paragraphs (select text and then tools > sort), the order is exactly as it should be. It is possible to sort the index after it is created, but I don't think that you can expect every user to try to alphabetically sort something he already considers sorted. As the mentioned characters also appear in some other languages (Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Polish, Estonian, Finnish), I guess that the problem is not limited to Croatian users. I don't know how many other characters from other languages are affected by this issue. I tested some Italian characters (such as "i with grave" - U+00EC) and it was OK.
One more thing: I chose "All" for OS because the issue is present both under Windows XP and Linux.
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem.
Confirming with OOo 1.1.0 german (selfcompiled as well as official build) and OOo 1.1.0_RC4 english. Will attach sample document. Tools|Sort correctly sorts the selection whereas the setting in the index do nothing, e.g. Language setting is ignored. Setting target-milestone to "not-determined".
Created attachment 12133 [details] sample document with index & index-entries to reproduce the problem
Reassigned to ES
maybe duplicate of issue 25323
ES->OS: something for Karl Hong or ER?
