ABSTRACT:
A method and system for context-based sorting of character strings. A first sorting weight of a current character of a character string is determined from a first table. The first sorting weight is stored. Provided the current character is a predetermined character, a second table is accessed. A second sorting weight of the current character is determined from the location of a preceding character within the second table. The first sorting weight is replaced with the second sorting weight for the current character. Embodiments of the present invention provide an efficient method of context-based sorting in languages, such as Japanese, where the sorting weight of a character can be altered by the preceding character.
