Russian titles sorting doesn't work properly.

P.S. Win98 SE - works fine.

For that I call Windows functions, so that's maybe the fault of Windows
If someone knows Russian and Delphi he could maybe help me : I use AnsiCompareText function, which use the Windows CompareString function.

Where does this sort fail ? in the main Window or in the Export ?

May be. I have noticed this problem somewhere else. But sorting in Word, for example, works fine.

Main window.

BTW, your program is GREAT! Please keep working!

Little investigation done .
AnsiCompareText works not correct. CompareText works good.
So, problem is in current locale settings of WinXP.
I checked them out - everything was Russia but one section - "Standarts and Formats", which related to numbers, currencies, dates and time. I have changed this setting from English to Russian - problem gone!
How this two things are related - no idea, one more surprise from Microsoft .
Now I have a little side effect - my dates display in DDMMYY style, what actually I don't need. But AMC sorting works properly now, it's more important .

You can change the date display but you have to change that after having selected a locale.
That's why the date format changed when you switched the locale

Thanks, everything seems to be OK now.

Sorry for stupid question, but where is it in windows settings? Through Control Panel? Or My Computer properties?

Control Panel, Regional Settings.
