Hi Jan and Ken

Try this :
on mouseUp
   put "école"&cr&"fusée"&cr&"soleil"&cr&"appareil" into tData
   answer InternationalSort(tdata)
end mouseUp


function InternationalSort sourceVar
   set the wholeMatches to true
   put toUpper(sourceVar) into upperVar
   put upperVar into sortVar
   sort lines of sortVar
   repeat for each line theLine in sortVar
     put line (lineOffset(theLine, upperVar)) of \
         sourceVar & return after resultVar
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of resultVar
   set the wholeMatches to false
   return resultVar
end InternationalSort

IT DOES THE SAME AS THE SORT LINES Command !!!!

So there is no difference for me and the alfabet is not correct in french

if I write : sort lines of tdata international, it's worse !!!!

any other idea ????
