Collator C API

* * The C API for Collator performs locale-sensitive * string comparison. You use this service to build * searching and sorting routines for natural language text. *

* For more information about the collation service see * the User Guide. *

* Collation service provides correct sorting orders for most locales supported in ICU. * If specific data for a locale is not available, the orders eventually falls back * to the CLDR root sort order. *

* Sort ordering may be customized by providing your own set of rules. For more on * this subject see the * Collation Customization section of the User Guide. *
