    \class QCollator

    \brief The QCollator class compares strings according to a localized collation algorithm.

    QCollator is initialized with a QLocale. It can then be used to compare and
    sort strings by using the ordering appropriate for that locale.
 
    A QCollator object can be used together with template-based sorting
    algorithms, such as std::sort(), to sort a list with QString entries.
 
    \snippet code/src_corelib_text_qcollator.cpp 0
 
    In addition to the locale, several optional flags can be set that influence
    the result of the collation.
 
    \section1 POSIX fallback implementation
 
    On Unix systems, Qt is normally compiled to use ICU (except for \macos,
    where Qt defaults to using an equivalent Apple API). However, if ICU was
    not available at compile time or explicitly disabled, Qt will use a
    fallback backend that uses the POSIX API only. This backend has several
    limitations:
 
    \list
      \li Only the QLocale::c() and QLocale::system() locales are supported.
          Consult the POSIX and C Standard Library manuals for the
          \c{<locale.h>} header for more information on the system locale.
      \li caseSensitivity() is not supported: only case-sensitive collation
          can be performed.
      \li The options set via numericMode(), ignorePunctuation(), and
          options() are not supported.
    \endlist
 
    On Android systems, when not compiled to use an own copy of ICU Qt uses
    the platform-provided ICU on Android 33 and newer. On older Android versions
    it falls back to the Java Collator API, which has a few limitations:
 
    \list
      \li The IgnorePunctuation and NumericSort options are not supported.
      \li The DiacriticInsensitive option only has an effect in combination
          with CaseInsensitive also being set, using DiacriticInsensitive
          without CaseInsensitive is not supported.
    \endlist
 
    The use of any of the unsupported options will cause a warning to be
    printed to the application's output.

/*!
    \since 6.13
    \enum QCollator::CollationOption
 
    Options that control how strings are compared by \l QCollator.
 
    The \macos, Windows, and ICU backends support all options, with variations
    where indicated. On non-\macos Unix (including Linux), if ICU is not
    available a fallback (POSIX) backend is used, which supports none of
    these options.
 
    \value CaseInsensitive      Ignore case differences when comparing strings.
 
    \value IgnorePunctuation    Ignore punctuation and symbols when comparing strings.
 
    \value NumericSort          Sort strings containing numbers by their numeric value,
                                so that for example "file10" sorts after "file9"
                                instead of between "file1" and "file2".
 
    \value DiacriticInsensitive Ignore diacritical marks when comparing strings,
                                so that for example "e" and "é" compare as equal.
                                Depending on the locale, this may also include
                                ligature folding such as æ == ae.
                                See \l {DiacriticInsensitive behavior details}
                                below.
 
    \value WidthInsensitive     Treat CJK fullwidth and halfwidth forms of a
                                character as equivalent; for example, fullwidth
                                "Ａ１２３" and halfwidth "A123", or fullwidth
                                Katakana "カ" and halfwidth "ｶ".
                                See \l {WidthInsensitive behavior details} below.
 
    \section2 DiacriticInsensitive behavior details
 
    This option is primarily intended for search and matching, where the user
    may not type diacritics. For example, typing "resume" in a search field and
    expecting to find "résumé".
 
    The exact behavior depends on the locale and platform backend:
 
    \list
      \li Characters that are independent letters in a given alphabet are
          not treated as diacritic variants. For example, in Swedish "å",
          "ä" and "ö" are separate letters that sort after "z", so they
          do not compare equal to "a" or "o", even with this option set.
          Their position in the alphabet is also preserved. The same
          characters may behave differently in another locale: in German,
          "ö" and "ä" are treated as variants of "o" and "a" and do compare
          equal to them with this option set.
      \li Collation folding for locale-specific equivalences
          (such as å == aa in Norwegian) is locale-dependent and works
          consistently across backends. Note that this maps "å" to the
          digraph "aa", not to a single "a"; "å" is an independent letter
          and never folds to "a".
      \li Ligature folding (such as ß == ss and æ == ae) is applied on
          Windows and ICU, where the locale defines it; for example
          "æ" folds to "ae" in English but is an independent letter in
          Norwegian and does not fold. This folding is not supported by
          the \macos backend. On Windows, some ligature folding is applied
          implicitly, even without this option set.
    \endlist
 
    \section2 WidthInsensitive behavior details
 
    Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) characters are wider than those of
    Latin-derived scripts. For compatibility, Unicode includes "fullwidth"
    forms of European characters that have the same width as CJK characters,
    as well as "halfwidth" forms of some CJK characters (for example,
    Katakana) that have the narrower European width. These width variants are
    formally separate characters in Unicode, but represent the same letter
    or symbol. Users may enter text using input methods that produce either
    form, and expect them to match when searching or comparing. This option
    makes the fullwidth and halfwidth forms of the same character compare
    as equal.
 
    The exact behavior depends on the platform backend:
 
    \list
      \li On ICU, width sensitivity and case sensitivity are controlled
          by the same collation strength level. As a result, in non-CJK
          locales, this option has no effect unless CaseInsensitive option
          is set. On the \macos and Windows backends, this option works
          independently of case sensitivity.
      \li In CJK locales, fullwidth and halfwidth forms may already
          compare as equal on \macos and ICU backends due to
          locale-specific collation rules, even without this option set.
          On Windows, this option must be set explicitly.
      \li The native Windows backend (without ICU) uses NLS
          (\l {https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/intl/national-language-support}
          {National Language Support}) to handle language-specific sorting,
          which gives a different default ordering of fullwidth and halfwidth
          characters than
          \l {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_collation_algorithm}
          {Unicode Collation Algorithm} based backends (\macos, ICU).
          Setting this option makes them compare as equal on both.

    \fn int QCollatorSortKey::compare(const QCollatorSortKey &otherKey) const noexcept
 
    Compares this key to \a otherKey, which must have been created by the same
    QCollator's sortKey() as this key. The comparison is performed in accordance
    with that QCollator's sort order.
 
    Returns a negative value if this key sorts before \a otherKey, 0 if the
    two keys are equal, or a positive value if this key sorts after \a otherKey.
