Low Search having issues with international characters and sorting?

Mats Mikkel Rummelhoff 25 Aug 2015 06:28 problem, complete

When sorting search results by title (orderby_sort="title|asc") I'm seeing some odd results.

The Å is the last character in the Norwegian alphabet, but Low Search is putting entries w/ titles beginning with Å (an example title is "Å skrive for grunnskolen") at the top. I guess Low Search treats the Å as an A, or something else is going on.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    This is the same as ordering by title/asc using the native channel:entries tag, so not necessarily a LS issue.

    You'd probably have to change the charset/collation of that field on DB level to get Norwegian ordering of entries.

    Doh! Thank you Low, that did the trick.
