Comparing UNICODE strings

[matjam]

I am trying to sort a list of files into alphabetical order but am not
gettting the desired effect. Take the following files for example:

a.txt
b.txt
y.txt
ñ.txt

Window explorer lists these files in the following order:

a.txt
b.txt
ñ.txt
y.txt

Using wcscmp I get the following order:

a.txt
b.txt
y.txt
ñ.txt

What function can I use to get the order that Windows explorer gets? I
cannot seem to find a function that does that. I've tried wcstoll but
this returns the same order as wcscmp.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

CompareString.

But you should really try a different newsgroup, this one is no longer
supported (and it is the wrong one for the question which has nothing to do
with localization; try microsoft.public.win32.programmer.international).
