Linguistic Collation: Everyone Can Get What They Expect - Sensible Sorting for Global Business Success

Overview In "Creating Order out of Character Chaos: Collation Capabilities of the SAS System" the authors describe the collation capabilities offered by PROC SORT in SAS and explain their respective applicability, advantages, and the processing implications of each approach. This paper concentrates on the true linguistic collation capabilities that SAS offers, and shows how everyone gets their expected results when searching for data in "Sorted" order. Global enterprises have information in many languages and from many different regions. Gathering the right information is crucial to their success. Sorting is ubiquitous in data processing, be it when searching for authors, titles, topics in on-line documentation, or when ordering a customer database by name or address, and so on.
