poohbar: czech language will always have a special place in my heart

Great! 🙂

I had to write a sort function for my app once and a czech user informed me that in the czech alphabete, there is a letter consisting of two letters

yep. 'ch' is hell 🙂

yeah

ch

.. but it's printed as two letters..

not only in Czech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch_(digraph)

you know those scroll bars that display the first letter of the category you're scrolling to?

cz

ch

rz

sz

dz

dż

dź

are also in Polish, but I would not expect e.g.

ch

close to

h

even tho they sound the same. 😕

Maciej, are the two-letter sounds you listed understood as a letter of their of their own? When you are reciting your alphabet?

Nope. These are just taught in primary school as mono-sound digraphs.

i see.. well

ch

in czech is an actual letter.. so thats why we would expect it to appear at its own spot in sorted string

Does Java string sorting handle it well for your

Locale

? 🙂

@mg6maciej there's https://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/Collator.html for this

I know. First thing you learn when you want to write app in Polish.
