*grin* no it was funny :) i checked mail, ok, place for me,
copied it from the pad, wanted to send and there was your message.
with my text (very close)
the »unfair« should be something like »comedy angry« (oh yes,
english..)
was a compliment in a way ;-)

yes, its correct.
this confusing poor »snippet« above should suggest to do the mapping
with parse. this mysterious [| »ch« ] should suggest to map »ch«
to a single »char« too.

sorry for the confusion.
its not really needed my way, i think.
i would map the strings before sorting, adding them to the data
and doing the sort on these strings instead of the originals.
this should be faster than sort/custom & mapping new every compare.
but performance is not the matter i think.
so sort/custom may be simpler.
and somehow i feel you have thought at this already.. ;-)

i think i have an idea for a »mapping tool« - have to play with it.
hmm...
