Constant Detail

MATCHING

Constant

public static const MATCHING:String = "matching"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2

Initializes a Collator object so that the compare method is optimized for determining whether two strings are equivalent. In this mode, string comparisons ignore differences in uppercase and lower case letters, accented characters, etc.

SORTING

Constant

public static const SORTING:String = "sorting"

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2

Initializes a Collator object so that the compare method is optimized for sorting a list of text strings to be displayed to an end user. In this mode, string comparisons consider differences in uppercase and lowercase letters, accented characters, and so on, according to the language and sorting rules required by the locale.
