Sort orders and character weighting
for complex fonts and sets of special characters can
make it possible to create very effective and powerful
filtering and searching operations. ATP's Sort
Order Utility makes it possible to define
sort orders that include single characters and character
strings—thus for Northwest Coast languages, it
is possible to include glottalized character sequences
as single phonemes while searching and sorting.
Like the Customized Keyboard Utility,
the Sort Order Utility uses very simple clicking sequences
to make assignments. The list box at the left shows
that all the i characters—upper
and lower case, with and without primary and secondary
accents—have been given the same weight, while
all the i-nasal characters have been weighted to follow
as a separate phoneme.
