If you are running in a French locale, you should get a French sort order. Well i tried that and it does'nt work is there in delphi sorting algorythms i could use? The basic problem is the following. I'm trying to sort node in a treeview and the primary sorting key is a string (a name) that can contain special french characters. It's obvious that i cant use simple string compare to sort. So anyone have any ideas? I'm using xp pro, locale in os is canada, language is french canadian, keybord is french canadian . Project in delphi uses language french canadian (ver info).

So anyone have any ideas? You should be using the Ansi functions to take advantage of the current locale settings. For example, in SysUtils, you have AnsiCompareStr and AnsiCompareText. If you really want to implement a custom sorting algorithm for a TreeView, there is a TCustomTreeView.CustomSort method that you can use.
