You should see how windows tries to alphabetize hebrew! Actually, XPis not so bad (unless the hebrew has vowels), but what is annoying isthe inconsistency. Winamp (not a MS product) and Media Player 10 organize differently- and neither of them are correct!
I suppose that I could add hebrew to your function. I would justreplace every hebrew character with ? as hebrew is not mixed in withlatin letters in normal usage (nor is it very compatable). Would youlike me to send to you the function afterward?
