可能重复：
Python not sorting unicode properly. Strcoll doesn't help.
我正在尝试按字母顺序对某些单词进行排序。我是这样做的：
#!/opt/local/bin/python2.7
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import locale
# Make sure the locale is in french
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8")
print "locale: " + str(locale.getlocale())
# The words are in alphabetical order
words = ["liche", "lichée", "lichen", "lichénoïde", "licher", "lichoter"]
for word in sorted(words, cmp=locale.strcoll):
print word.decode("string-escape")
我希望这些单词按照定义的顺序打印，但这是我得到的：
locale: ('fr_FR', 'UTF8')
liche
lichen
licher
lichoter
lichée
lichénoïde
é字符被视为大于 z 。
我似乎误解了locale.strcoll如何比较字符串。我应该使用什么比较器函数来按字母顺序排序？
