* You use this class to build searching and sorting routines for natural * language text. *

* Collator is an abstract base class. Subclasses implement * specific collation strategies. One subclass, * RuleBasedCollator, is currently provided and is applicable * to a wide set of languages. Other subclasses may be created to handle more * specialized needs. *

* Like other locale-sensitive classes, you can use the static factory method, * createInstance, to obtain the appropriate * Collator object for a given locale. You will only need to * look at the subclasses of Collator if you need to * understand the details of a particular collation strategy or if you need to * modify that strategy. *

* The following example shows how to compare two strings using the * Collator for the default locale. * \htmlonly

\endhtmlonly *
* \code
* // Compare two strings in the default locale
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
* if (myCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") < 0)
*   cout << "abc is less than ABC" << endl;
* else
*   cout << "abc is greater than or equal to ABC" << endl;
* \endcode
* 
* \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly *

* You can set a Collator's strength attribute to * determine the level of difference considered significant in comparisons. * Five strengths are provided: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, * TERTIARY, QUATERNARY and IDENTICAL. * The exact assignment of strengths to language features is locale dependent. * For example, in Czech, "e" and "f" are considered primary differences, * while "e" and "\u00EA" are secondary differences, "e" and "E" are tertiary * differences and "e" and "e" are identical. The following shows how both case * and accents could be ignored for US English. * \htmlonly

\endhtmlonly *
* \code
* //Get the Collator for US English and set its strength to PRIMARY
* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* Collator* usCollator = Collator::createInstance(Locale::getUS(), success);
* usCollator->setStrength(Collator::PRIMARY);
* if (usCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") == 0)
*     cout << "'abc' and 'ABC' strings are equivalent with strength PRIMARY" << endl;
* \endcode
* 
* \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly * * The getSortKey methods * convert a string to a series of bytes that can be compared bitwise against * other sort keys using strcmp(). Sort keys are written as * zero-terminated byte strings. * * Another set of APIs returns a CollationKey object that wraps * the sort key bytes instead of returning the bytes themselves. *

*

* Note: Collators with different Locale, * and CollationStrength settings will return different sort * orders for the same set of strings. Locales have specific collation rules, * and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences are taken into * account, for example, will result in a different sorting order for same * strings. *
