Abstract: The invention relates to culturally sensitive sorting of records. The invention provides a method and a computer system for sorting a set of keyed records based on a preferred locale specification having collation information of a culture. The method is performed on a computer system operatively coupled to a computer readable memory storing the set of keyed records. The steps include reading a locale token associated with the set of records, the locale token identifying a preferred locale object having collation information, using th e preferred locale object to locate and read the collation information, creating a culturally correct collation key for each data key associated with the each record, and using the created culturally correct collation keys to sort the set of records into a culturally correct sorted order.

Abstract: A locale identification triplet is provided and a related computer implement ed method, computer system and computer program for making practical use of the locale identification triplet. The identifier includes a table identifier, locale version identifier a.nd a locale token. The locale token is the only mandatory identifier in the triplet and addresses the need to uniquely identify desired localization specifications through a concise unambiguous hexadecimal format . The locale version identifier addresses the need to allow multiple variations of the locale specification defined for a given "root" locale, and the table identifier addresses the need to provide a mechanism to identify and distinguish a particular instance of a locale with regards to an environment (such as a system) or reference to an installation/application/user provided reference table.
