brolin_empeyCan text written in a language such as Chinese or Japanese, not using something like Pinyin that uses an alphabet, be sorted like text written in a language such as English that uses an alphabet?08:33

deepybrolin_empey: it's a bit more complicated than that, but it can be done11:50
MaxdamantusIs the question about whether it's feasible to come up with an ordering, or whether there is a sensible ordering that normal people will understand?11:56
MaxdamantusBecause the answer to the former question is a fairly simple "yes".11:56
MaxdamantusYou can just order by Unicode code points (or equivalently, UTF-8 bytes) if you want *some* order.11:57
MaxdamantusBased on some quick Googling, it seems like there are conventional orderings for Chinese logograms involving stroke count.11:58
Maxdamantusand regarding Japanese, I think most Japanese text you'll normally find nowadays is in kana, which I imagine has a typical ordering just like there are orderings of western alphabets, since there are only something like 12*5 kana.11:59
MaxdamantusI guess if it's 12*5 it's a bit more than a typical western alphabet .. I don't think there are that many actually.12:00
Maxdamantus10*5 - 3 + 112:01

deepyLast I heard of Japanese there was an intermediate step, you converted everything to something that made more sense and then used that for ordering14:54
deepyAnd just sorting it like you'd do with our alphabet ended up being absolutely terrible14:55
