Description Erich Iseli 2009-03-22 11:34:35 UTC

Version:           0.9.1 (using 4.1.4 (KDE 4.1.4), Kubuntu packages)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-11-generic

Korean words get sorted the wrong way. If applied to English, that would be:

a
b
c
z
aa
ab
zz
aaa
zzz

instead of the correct order as follows:

a
aa
aaa
ab
b
c
z
zz
zzz

Basically, the one-character words come first, then the two-character words etc... Within their length, they are sorted correctly, but they should by no means be sorted according to their length in the first place.

CSV showing a short word list with wrong and correct sort order

Sort the numbers in column A to see how the words are sorted in parley and sort the numbers in column C to see how the words should actually be sorted. Can be used as a testcase.

Is this behavior specific to Parley or does it happen to other KDE apps? (eg Dolphin with file names?)

Comment 3 Erich Iseli 2009-03-26 18:17:10 UTC

Frederick, as I already mentioned, KOffice does it right. But it's interesting you're mentioning Dolphin. I just made a test and there! it is the same as in Parley! So we probably have to escalate this bug to KDE. Is there a way to do this or do I need to open a new bug?
