MicroStrategy ONE

Sorting and Browsing Standards

MicroStrategy employs its own sorting and browsing standards for characters and MicroStrategy projects.

The sorting is also dependent on your machine's locale. International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries are used to compare strings. ICU uses the Unicode Collation Algorithm, which sorts on multiple levels, as described below:

  1. Letters are sorted first.
  2. Differences in accents resolve any ties resulting from the first sort level.
  3. Differences in case (lower case vs. upper case) resolve any ties.
  4. Differences in punctuation resolve any ties.
