Automation
Collation algorithms (in combination with sorting algorithms) are used in computer programming to place strings in alphabetical order. A standard example is the Unicode Collation Algorithm, which can be used to put strings containing any Unicode symbols into (an extension of) alphabetical order. It can be made to take conform to most of the language-specific conventions described above, by tailoring its default collation table. Several such tailorings are collected in Common Locale Data Repository.
