DocuShare relies on the linguistic sort order of the database to display the Collection content lists in alphabetic order and how to change the linguistic sort order varies depending on the database connected to DocuShare.
Different languages have different sort orders for example:
· The Sort order can be case sensitive or insensitive
· Sort orders can ignore or consider diacritics (The marks near or through characters affecting the sound of the character)
