Dictionary ordering in Grid

[Szemere Szemere]

The ordering in Grid sorts by character value (uppercase before lowercase),
not by dictionary order e.g.
ADrian
Aardvark
Adrian

Is there an easy way to change this?

I guess you're using a List or a Collection as the grid's source.
Outside a Grid, you can do String comparisons using localized (per-locale)  
rules using a Collator. You can copy CollectionGridDataSource and change  
its sorting to sort strings using a Collator.

Yes.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at it.

I think however that it would be natural to use dictionary order as the
default ordering. Do others agree?

That's a good thing for a JIRA. :)
