How do you sort Sanskrit words in devanagari?
Hindi should be rather close, so I used http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/sort.html
Before sorting:
⎷abhibhāṣ — 158
⎷abhibhū — 62
⎷abhidhā — 37, 68, 146
⎷abhidru — 76, 108, 178
⎷abhigam — 138
⎷abhigā — 135
⎷abhihary — 97
⎷abhilaṣ — 149, 155
⎷abhiman — 120, 132
⎷abhinand — 84
⎷abhipīḍ — 72
⎷abhisar — 165, 173
⎷abhisaṅdhā — 65
⎷abhisaṅçri — 76
⎷abhivad — 106, 108, 139
⎷abhivarṣ — 72
⎷abhivar — 72, 89
⎷abhiṣic — 180
After:
⎷lī — 118
⎷īç — 50
⎷aç — 103
⎷ej — 102
⎷sū — 88
⎷dā — 83
⎷hu — 135
⎷tṝ — 34
⎷su — 137
⎷pū — 100
⎷as — 44
⎷dam — 145
⎷cyu — 149
⎷cud — 140
⎷sru — 73
⎷cit — 90
⎷snā — 138
⎷çak — 52
⎷çam — 73
⎷diç — 65
⎷jar — 59
⎷gup — 37
⎷çās — 132
⎷lag — 44
So nowhere even close. What do you use for sorting Hindi text strings?
