[Qt-qml] qml locale aware string comparison

[denis.d...@nokia.com]

Hi guys,

Are there are any plans to implement locale aware string comparison api for QML?

What about any other locale aware properties, including but not limiting to date/time formatting?

It's there already: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt5-snapshot/qml-qtquick2-
locale.html

I don't think it does locale aware string comparison, but it does do locale
aware strings (like date/time formatting). Perhaps you can just compare those.

oh great. I am mostly interested in locale aware string comparison though - what QString::localeAwareCompare() does - e.g. determining sort order of words like "china", "danmark" - they will be sorted differently in english and czech locales.

btw, who was implementing that api? It seems to be missing toCurrentString - which uses the locale's currency symbol position and spacing.

I implemented the locale API. There is a toLocaleCurrencyString() extension to Number, which has missed out on documentation. I'll add that soon.

Actually, it is documented:

Great! I just didn't find it linked from Locale documentation. I pushed a tiny patch for you to review: http://codereview.qt-project.org/12024
