Description cdavilam 2006-11-12 15:24:34 UTC
When you create a numeration (tested in Writer only) and use letters for eash
line, if you write more than N lines, automatic numeration goes from N to O,
ignoring Ñ that should be used as you are using the program in Spanish.

Just commenting out of general interest, I have nothing to do with the code for
this as such...

This is hardly a problem specific to Spanish, but much more generic. For
instance for Swedish, after Z you should get Å, Ä and Ö. They are definitely
separte letters in the Swedish alphabet, and not equal A and O with some kind of
diacritic at all.

(FWIW, MS Word uses ÅÄÖ for Swedish, but not Ñ Spanish, for some reason. It also
changes the letters used dynamically if one changes the language of the
paragraphs in question.)

Then this issue should be moved to a different component, not Spanish, but I
don't know the right cathegory to put it in, maybe lingucomponent or native-lang
Comment 3 roman 2006-11-14 16:20:51 UTC
this is importan for a natural spanish languaje in numeration.

Sorting is largely controlled by the operating system. 
In Linux it depends of the LANG & LC_COLLATE variables.
I don't know all the details. 
It also seems to be difficult to resort in the case of 
databases.

It is probably possible for OOo to overide these things 
at runtime, but that infor will have to come from someone else.
