            Bug ID: 16052
           Summary: Provide European ordering rules (EOR / EN 13710) for

           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.18

>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_ordering_rules:

The European ordering rules (EOR / EN 13710) define an ordering for strings
written in languages that use the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic alphabets. The
standard covers languages used in Europe (i.e., the European Union, the
European Free Trade Association, and parts of the former Soviet Union). It is a
tailoring of the Common Tailorable Template of ISO/IEC 14651. EOR can [and in
most cases should] in turn be tailored for different (European) languages as
the primary language. But in inter-European multilingual contexts, EOR can be
used without further tailoring.

In some countries/languages, like Finland/Finnish, the new national
recommendation is based on EN 13710. If EN 13710 would be available, the new
Finnish sorting standard could be easily implemented by providing the national
delta defined in SFS-EN 13710.

Please consider providing EN 13710 ordering rules to allow implementation of
new national standards based on it.

Thanks.
