for their responses. It seems that I did not say clearly enough what I
wanted, but in spite of it I got the answer.
I needed a simple utility that provides bi-level sorting according to
sorting rules given for a particular language. Keith J. Miller suggested
locales, but they are not working for all languages. For Czech, for
example, I do not get standard Czech sorting but some kind of
well-tempered sorting of Latin-2 table. The glyph "ch" is not sorted
between "h" and "i" but between "ce" and "ci".
Sean M. Burke wrote the Perl module Sort::ArbBiLex that does exactly
what I need. It is easy to define one's own sorting order, and to sort
different lists in different way. The module can be obtained at
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=dist&query=Sort-ArbBiLex .
Best regards,
Hana
