Do you think that sort-by-unicode-codepoint is good enough to use for technical contexts where most content is english or at least represented by the Latin alphabet? For example, do you think it's a valid choice to sort by codepoint for Java symbol names in a code refactoring tool?
I ask because I expect that sort-by-codepoint is an order of magnitude more efficient.
- lmm 15y agoIt's not a valid choice for anything that actually uses unicode. E.g. if I have functions caféHide() and caféShow() I expect them to be next to each other. I think Java should perhaps have required symbol names to be ASCII, but it doesn't and Java tools should deal with this.
