Dear Sirs,
RE:sort.exe It has an option to ignore case, so I took it to be case-insensitive on default. The Kana syllabary of the Japanese languages comprises more than a hundred syllables. To sort Japanese words into dictionary-order e.g. unvoiced T should come before the voiced counterpart D if it is situated in the string which should come before the string of D when case is ignored. So the word should be scanned more than once. I used to prepend the key field of ASCII string by mappig Kana to alphabet letters treating lower-case upper-case letters as distinctive letters. Cf the table on the last page of EHS (Extended Hepburn System), the transliterational romanization system of the full set of the Kana syllabary Sincerely yours, KAMINISHI Toshiwo (The family name comes first in Japan.
