README

This Anki add-on adds a new browser column that allows sorting by the sort field in a more alphabetic order than the default one for non-latin text.

https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/sort-field-in-alphabetic-order-problem/28687

Supported versions

The add-on should work out of the box on Anki 2.1.45+. For older versions, it relies on the Advanced Browser add-on to add the browser column, so you need it installed.

Download

You can download the add-on from AnkiWeb: 967882190

Technical details

By default, the add-on uses the Unicode collation algorithm (via pyuca) for sorting.

The add-on also supports the unicase SQLite collation added by Anki, which does Unicode case-folding using the unicase crate. You can enable it by changing the COLLATION enum variable in the code.
