Tag Tool: Sort Order Incorrect in Attribute Name Column

ID: Q188249

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Search, included with:
- Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

When you enter ASCII extended characters as tags with the Tag tool, the extended characters are sorted incorrectly. All extended characters appear after the standard English alphabet.

This is a common problem when you tag documents in languages that use the extended character set.

This behavior only occurs in the U.S. English version of Site Server Search. The localized versions do not have this behavior.

CAUSE

The extended characters are being compared and sorted incorrectly.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, apply the latest Site Server 3.0 service pack.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 3.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Microsoft Site Server version 3.0.
