Everything can not sort Chinese in right order

[jieyuan_1981]

For example, there are Chinese lines:
麦克
牛津
朗文
柯林
韦氏
剑桥
美国
英汉
大英
choose View > Sort By > ascending
result in:
剑桥
大英
朗文
柯林
牛津
美国
英汉
韦氏
麦克
this is not the right order, the right one should be:
大英
剑桥
柯林
朗文
麦克
美国
牛津
韦氏
英汉

Just out of interest, I did an ascending sort in EmEditor:

The ascending sorting of Everything (2) and EmEditor (3) is identical in this example.

Good thinking!

File Explorer uses the same Everything/EmEditor sort order.

Total Commander uses the same Everything/EmEditor sort order.

I *knew* you could not leave it at that


On topic:
Is Total Commander 100% Unicode? (doesn't 'feel' that way).

Tablacus Explorer - I thought it's developer was Chinese, but after checking more likely to be Japanese - uses the same sorting method too.

Yes, you are right, but I wanted to express that I am not a specialist in the subject of "sorts".

I'm not 100% sure.
The TC - HISTORY.TXT might give you information.

Everything loosely follows the Unicode Collation Algorithm.

Everything uses allkeys.txt for sorting weights.

Siniform ideographs — most notably modern CJK (Han) ideographs — and Hangul syllables are not explicitly mentioned in the default table. Ideographs are mapped to collation elements that are derived from their Unicode code point value as described in Section 10.1.3, Implicit Weights. For a discussion of derived collation elements for Hangul syllables and other issues related to the collation of Korean, see Section 10.1.5, Hangul Collation.

Derived Collation Elements


In other words, Everything currently sorts CJK characters by Unicode Code Point.
