Re: [gtkmm] minor problem with sorting rows in win32

["B.Hakvoort" <bart hakvoort be>]

I realise it's not the ideal way of getting things done, but since i'm
working on a client/server application there's always the possibility of
having two different locales in my network. If and when this is the case
functions like Sort() and string comparisons will give different output
on different machines and eventually corrupt data.

I know there are other, cleaner ways to accomplish data consistancy, but
if this get the job done it's fine with me.

Anyway, thanks for the advice and your help!
