collation
[Article still incomplete]
The process of ordering units of textual information. Collation is usually specific to a particular language and contrast with bitwise comparaison of the code value of each character. Also known as alphabetizing or alphabetic sorting.
The Unicode Technical Report #10, "Unicode Collation Algorithm," defines a complete, unambiguous, specified ordering for all characters in the Unicode Standard.
