For some languages, the default collate rule set in kohastructure.sql, utf8_unicode_ci, doesn't work correctly. For example, Finnish alphabet expects the alphabet to sort abc...xyzåäö, but the unicode_ci rule doesn't handle the åäö right. Instead, we need to use the swedish_ci rule. It would be nice to be able to define the default collate rule during install. Problem can be seen for example when you go catalogue a new record and have frameworks starting with 'ä' or 'ö', those will sort incorrectly. On the database, you can test this with: insert into biblio_framework (frameworkcode, frameworktext) values ('TEST', 'Äänikirja'); -- Note where the 'Äänikirja' is located select * from biblio_framework order by frameworktext collate utf8_unicode_ci; -- And then the correct order, with 'Äänikirja' last: select * from biblio_framework order by frameworktext collate utf8_swedish_ci;
