+* Like other locale-sensitive classes, you can use the static factory method,
+*
+* The following example shows how to compare two strings using the
+*
+* You can set a Collator
class performs locale-sensitive string
+* comparison.
+* You use this class to build searching and sorting routines for natural
+* language text.
+* Collator
is an abstract base class. Subclasses implement
+* specific collation strategies. One subclass,
+* RuleBasedCollator
, is currently provided and is applicable
+* to a wide set of languages. Other subclasses may be created to handle more
+* specialized needs.
+* createInstance
, to obtain the appropriate
+* Collator
object for a given locale. You will only need to
+* look at the subclasses of Collator
if you need to
+* understand the details of a particular collation strategy or if you need to
+* modify that strategy.
+* Collator
for the default locale.

+*
+* \code
+* // Compare two strings in the default locale
+* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+* Collator* myCollator = Collator::createInstance(success);
+* if (myCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") < 0)
+* cout << "abc is less than ABC" << endl;
+* else
+* cout << "abc is greater than or equal to ABC" << endl;
+* \endcode
+*
+* \htmlonlyCollator
's strength attribute to
+* determine the level of difference considered significant in comparisons.
+* Five strengths are provided: PRIMARY
, SECONDARY
,
+* TERTIARY
, QUATERNARY
and IDENTICAL
.
+* The exact assignment of strengths to language features is locale dependent.
+* For example, in Czech, "e" and "f" are considered primary differences,
+* while "e" and "\u00EA" are secondary differences, "e" and "E" are tertiary
+* differences and "e" and "e" are identical. The following shows how both case
+* and accents could be ignored for US English.

+* The
+* \code
+* //Get the Collator for US English and set its strength to PRIMARY
+* UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
+* Collator* usCollator = Collator::createInstance(Locale::getUS(), success);
+* usCollator->setStrength(Collator::PRIMARY);
+* if (usCollator->compare("abc", "ABC") == 0)
+* cout << "'abc' and 'ABC' strings are equivalent with strength PRIMARY" << endl;
+* \endcode
+*
+* \htmlonlygetSortKey
methods
+* convert a string to a series of bytes that can be compared bitwise against
+* other sort keys using strcmp()
. Sort keys are written as
+* zero-terminated byte strings.
+*
+* Another set of APIs returns a CollationKey
object that wraps
+* the sort key bytes instead of returning the bytes themselves.
+*
+* Note: Collator
s with different Locale,
+* and CollationStrength settings will return different sort
+* orders for the same set of strings. Locales have specific collation rules,
+* and the way in which secondary and tertiary differences are taken into
+* account, for example, will result in a different sorting order for same
+* strings.
+*
