24 * \brief C API: Collator
25 *
26 * <h2> Collator C API </h2>
27 *
28 * The C API for Collator performs locale-sensitive
29 * string comparison. You use this service to build
30 * searching and sorting routines for natural language text.
31 * <p>
32 * For more information about the collation service see
33 * <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/collation">the User Guide</a>.
34 * <p>
35 * Collation service provides correct sorting orders for most locales supported in ICU.
36 * If specific data for a locale is not available, the orders eventually falls back
37 * to the <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#Root_Collation">CLDR root sort order</a>.
38 * <p>
39 * Sort ordering may be customized by providing your own set of rules. For more on
40 * this subject see the <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/collation/customization">
41 * Collation Customization</a> section of the User Guide.
