Nicko,

I'm interested in your question.

I searched for: NSString locale
at: http://www.cocoabuilder.com

and found this:

The answer to your question is unclear to me, but the email does say, "comparison only done with respect to the user's preferred locale". Perhaps, the localizedCompare: method will work properly if the strings are initialized with initWithFormat:locale:.

The documentation for NSString's localizedCompare: says "Performs a localized compare between the receiver and string. See Also: - compare:options:range:locale:". Presumably it is simply calling compare:options:range:locale: with some predefined values for options, an empty range and a "local" locale. My question is where does that locale come from? I want to do a localised search with the NSNumericSearch option switched on, so I need to pass in the same locale information.

Thanks in advance,

Nicko
