    \class QCollator
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QCollator class compares strings according to a localized collation algorithm.
 
    \since 5.2
 
    \reentrant
    \ingroup i18n
    \ingroup string-processing
    \ingroup shared
 
    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 numericMode() and ignorePunctuation() are not supported.
    \endlist
 
    The use of any of the unsupported options will cause a warning to be
    printed to the application's output.
