[issue25697] Fix rough alphabetical order in Misc/ACKS
New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: the list in Misc/ACKS is intended to be in rough alphabetical order by last names. But some lines breaks this order. Proposed patch restores ordering. It also removes duplicates for Richard Oudkerk. Correct sorting is not easy due to different letter order in different alphabets and different collation rules in different languages. I tried to take it into account, but can make a mistake. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: acks_order-3.6.patch keywords: patch messages: 255106 nosy: docs@python, georg.brandl, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Fix rough alphabetical order in Misc/ACKS Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41125/acks_order-3.6.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
Martin Panter added the comment: I left one review comment about Maćkowiak. The other changes look okay. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: It says "rough" for a reason. The ascii-only changes are probably fine, but the non-ascii ones may not be (MvL in particular caught my eye, but there was another) may be correct as they stand since those two were consistent (at the end of the alphabet). I don't know, though; I don't know the alphabetization rules for the non-ascii names. In short, it is better to leave the non-ascii names alone unless you are sure of the sorting rules of the native language of the individual involved :) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: As Georg Brandl said in msg197962, "Löwis" should be sorted as "Loewis" according to German rules. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
R. David Murray added the comment: That would be being sure, then :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
Martin Panter added the comment: FWIW when I said it was okay apart from Maćkowiak, I guessed the accented letters were in German, Spanish, French and Polish alphabets. According to Wikipedia, sometimes the German “ö” (umlaut) is put after Z, but sorting with “oe” is also done, and I think it is better that way :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25697> _______________________________________
