Hello,

Hello mysql,

(Note: this post contains characters in windows-1257 encoding, they may appear incorectly in your e-mail clients).

I believed everything is OK with MySQL support for cp1257 charset until I actually tried to sort records alphabeticly.

What I find out was:

1. Typo in cp1257.conf sorting table which caused letter 'à' (the second letter
in alphabet) to be palced just next to 'þ' - last in the alphabet.

2. Missing entries for letter 'þ' in sorting table causing '[\]_^' to be placed before this letter.

3. Incorrect sorting of 'y'-'á' and 'û'-'ø' letters in each pair should be swapped.

I have prepared an improved version of cp1257.conf (altought I am going to do some more testing) file now and question is how and where should I submit it to be included with MySQL.
