Bad ordering of entities containing international characters


Posted on Jul 23, 2008 by Swift Bird

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Run query on model, ex. categories = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Category ORDER BY name ASC") 2. List result

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? "Čerpadlo" beginning with (Č entity) should by before "Motory" in Gql result ordered ASC I see "Motory" as first

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.1.0, Ubuntu 8.04

This is not a problem with the sample: This is how Bigtable works. There are ways around this limitation but it would require a separate category property with all symbols translated to ASCII equivalents. I'm sure there's a plugin somewhere for this purpose.
