hi, I have problems with sorting array of strings with special characters (č š ž), %w"abcčdesšuvzž".sort => "abcdesuvzčšž" the right order should be č after c, š after s and ž after z. I write my own sort method: sort_order = [''a'',''b'',''c'',''č'',''d'',''e'',''f'',''g'',''h'',''i'',''j'',''k'',''l'', ''m'',''n'',''o'',''q'',''p'',''r'',''s'',''š'',''t'',''u'',''v'',''w'',''z'',''ž'',''x'',''y''] user_items.sort_by {|u| sort_order.index(u.name.first)} But it only works, if im sorting by first character. How can i sort the whole words with right order? example: %w"audi, bmw 320i, ,bmw 320d, seat, škoda, ...". thanks sergej -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
