Package com.saxonica.expr.sort

This package contains classes used to support the use of the ICU library for collating strings, in particular, for the implementation of the Unicode Collation Algorithm.

Saxon-HE contains a rudimentary implementation of the Unicode Collation Algorithm to the extent that this is possible using standard capabilities of the Java platform. Saxon-PE/EE augments this with much richer capabilities achieved by use of the ICU library.

None of these classes will be used directly by typical user applications.
