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.

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?
