Description

by example in user list to pick for ticket assignement users with accentuated characters don't follow natural french ordering.
It should normalize name with accentuated characters like éè to correponding non accenutated letter prior of ordering.
when the list is very long it can lead to the false impression that user is not registered.

in redmine : Claire < Clovis < Clément < Constantin < Cyril < Céline

while we would expect : Céline (Celine) < Claire < Clément (Clement) < Clovis < Constantin < Cyril

This problem does not show in listing of project members, so this bug depends on context and redmine already knows how to deal correctly with accentuated ordering.

It is possible to fix watcher ordering by replacing sort by in sorted app/helpers/issues_helper.rb

diff --git a/app/helpers/issues_helper.rb b/app/helpers/issues_helper.rb

Here my patch to fix assignee drop_down_list and watchers sorting in french.
might apply to any language where ascii/utf-8 ordering is not same than characters comparisons.

Hi Boleslaw,

This patch assumption is that database ordering is fine while ruby ordering is not, patch is to always use sorted on active record and not sort on string. It might differ depending on database, i did my test on postgres.

Please open a specific defect for polish language with a set of example of expected ordering and link this new issue here.

Regards
Philippe.

Sorry, my mistake.

P.S.
Why, when I open https://www.redmine.org/attachments/31850, and compare with 'issues_helper.rb' (Redmine 5.1 stable) I see different line numbering?
