[Bug localedata/9809] ckb_IQ: new Kurdish Sorani locale


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9809

--- Comment #53 from Mike FABIAN <maiku.fabian at gmail dot com> ---
Your locale also resorted all the ASCII letters to make upper case letters come
first. 

I.e. 

A
a

instead of 

a
A

Lower case first is what comes from 

    copy "iso14651_t1"

When using CLDR for sorting, one can use an option
[caseFirst upper], see for example:

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/master/common/collation/da.xml

glibc has no easy option to do that at the moment.

It is *possible* do sort A-Za-z differently in your locale *but*
if you do that you will get a weird order for all Latin characters you forget.
I.e. if you do not include äÄ in your sort order as well, they would still sort 
lower case first. It is a lot of work to do this correctly for *all* Latin
characters without a convenient option like CLDR’s [caseFirst upper],
I would recommend not doing that if it is not absolutely required.
