Nicko,

I'm interested in your question.

I searched for: NSString locale
at: http://www.cocoabuilder.com

and found this:

The answer to your question is unclear to me, but the email does say,
"comparison only done with respect to the user's preferred locale".
Perhaps, the localizedCompare: method will work properly if the
strings are initialized with initWithFormat:locale:.
