Abstract
A method and system for providing a language-sensitive text compare. An innovative system and method for performing the compare is presented that performs text comparison of any Unicode strings. For any language an ordering is defined based on features of the language. Then, an interactive compare function is performed to determine the relationship of a pair of strings. The string is examined and a compare is performed one character at a time based on a predefined character precedence.
