Issue with localeawarecompare in QT 4.8

[sreek82]

Hello,

I am working on comparing two strings(in different languages). So, to get sorted the strings correctly, I am using localeawarecompare to compare strings. But the result is not as expected. I set the locale enviroment variables to correct language(*.utf8). But still the words are not arranged in correct order.

Do I need to set anyother variables. Please help me

Locale aware compare has been properly fixed in Qt 5.2. In Qt 4.8 it might not work as expected. Is an upgrade possible in your situation?

No. I cant upgrade to next version. Is there another way I can implement the same functionality

Thanks

Try setting the text codec as the documentation suggests: "link":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstring.html#localeAwareCompare, and more importantly, "link":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtextcodec.html#setCodecForLocale.
