Description Yann Mortier CLA 2016-04-19 07:41:03 EDT 
Column sorting feature (user can choose the column to sort by clicking on its header label) does not use a collator but the default compareTo of Strings.

It leads to a bad sorting. For example:
 * Antoine
 * Zoé
 * anatole
 * zohra

But user expects this output:
 * anatole
 * Antoine
 * Zoé
 * zohra
 

Using a collator should resolve the problem.

Thanks for your feedback. We agree that it would be an interesting improvement, but we have currently not planned to work on it in the following releases.

I've pushed a quick draft anyway at https://git.eclipse.org/r/70958, because the change looks simple enough, but this is completely untested. If you're ready to help us test it, and there is no bad surprise, we may consider adding it to the roadmap, but no guarantee.
