Lists being sorted for end users should *always* use
localizedCompare: or localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:. Only use
compare: if the end user will not see the ordering.

I should clarify what I meant. While compare: is not correct for end- user sorting, it's perfectly OK to use compare:options:range:locale:. localizedCompare: and localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare: are just convenience functions for compare:options:range:locale:. The key is to do a localized sort, which compare: does not do.

Sorry for any confusion...
