WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: WordPerfect Sort is activated by the Language code in most WPCorp programs, but PlanPerfect Sort is activated by selecting a sort sequence. The sort sequence in WordPerfect can be changed with a Document Language code or with a current language code in front of a block of text. (See memo number ALL_9580F for additional information on changing the Language Code in the above-mentioned locations.) The WP Program sort areas include Sort, List Files, Keyboards, Printers, Forms, Mouse, Graphic Drivers, Text Drivers, Footnotes, Endnotes, Fonts, Styles, Users, Groups, Resources, etc. For more information on International Sort Standards see IBM National Language Information and Design Guide, volume 2. In some WPCorp products the standards may vary from the information in this guide. The WordPerfect Sort occurs in the following sequence: 1. Spaces. 2. Characters (For example: !@#$%^ etc.) are given a sort weight between spaces and numeric characters. There aren't any sub weights given to these characters so they will sort in random order. These characters may vary from language to language. 3. Numeric characters (sorted in numeric sequence). 4. Alphabetic characters (sorted from lowercase to uppercase with Greek characters first, Latin characters second, and Cyrillic characters third). The above table contains the rules for Latin characters. 5. All other characters are not given a sort weight.
