Guest ns666ns@yahoo.com Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, I am using english windows XP, I use chinese filenames on my computer the problem is, when I sort files in XP, it seems to sort against unicode values, not based on chinese pronunciation pinyin (or the chinese GB2312/GB18030 code). some apps also sort chinese the same way. any idea how to set that? I played with language settings etc no success thank you very much

I know nothing about sorting in Chinese, but the way you describe it sorting is exactly the way I would expect it to do it. I doubt very much if it has the capability of doing it the way you want. > some apps also sort chinese the same > way. > > any idea how to set that?

He would have to find the corresponding transliterated form of the character and sort on that field instead. I am sure someone else has done this already; try a dictionary of chinese-english for example.
