Sorting other languages: Chinese

[Stefan]

Hello,

We are introducing the Chinese languages (Traditional and simplified) in our product. Everything went fine until we came to sorting. Chinese strings are not sorting as they are supposed to. This(these) language(s) has its(their) own 2 special sorting orders, as you probably know are: By phonetics(pronunciation) or by number of strokes.

We are using the Q3-2012 version of Telerik. Does this version support this types of sorting?

PS: I saw a similar question posted by a developer on july 2009, asking if the sorting for other language (example for Taiwan- traditional) is supported. The answer came from an admin called Steve:

“ Hi …,
Sorting of data in Telerik Reporting is done through the standard sorting mechanism in .NET.
Greetings,
Steve

By .NET-mechanism he meant sorting via Unicode values I presume?

Is this still a fact even with Version Q3?

 

Regards

Elie

Hello Elie,

This is still a fact we use the standard .NET sorting mechanisms. Still we will appreciate if you have an example where sorting is not accurate and send us a support ticket to further test on our end.
