the problem is, the standard character set used for building the CaseInsensitiveOrder map only maps characters from the set of ascii characters but it is used in the findString/compare/beginsWith-methods for all byte characters.
Any objections if we fill this map like it is suggested in case 17242 ?
CaseInsensitiveOrder := AsciiOrder copy. (0 to: 255) do:[ :v | | char upper | char := v asCharacter. upper := char asUppercase. upper isOctetCharacter ifFalse: [ upper := char ]. CaseInsensitiveOrder at: char asciiValue + 1 put: (CaseInsensitiveOrder at: upper asciiValue + 1) ].
(the check for #isOctectCharacter is needed because for some entries the correspondending uppercase character is not within this character set).
This would solve all three issues.

That looks like a beautiful fix that makes perfect sense. If all tests are green, I see no reason not to do it.
Thanks and well done (again),
Sven
If you use asLowercase as the "canonical" ordering index instead, can you drop the isOctetCharacter test, or are there uppercase characters in latin1 with no corresponding lowercases?
Interesting, good idea, there are no uppercase characters without lowercases.
I was about to suggest copying the CaseSensitiveOrder mapping instead of the AsciiOrder, since it has an ordering more refined than just A-Z, but that would quickly lead to wanting to extend it to a generic Latin1 sort order rather than just ASCII (é between e and f, for example), which is a can of worms that is hard to solve without making the ordering locale specific... I mean, one could use the default Unicode ordering, but would inevitably receive complaints from, say, Norwegians, that å sorts between a and b instead of after z.
I didn't thought about ordering..., and I think I don't want to :)
After all, it only affects the case where compare is used for ordering anyways.
Cheers, Henry
