Specifies how the system treats case while sorting records.
schema.table or schema/member
The schema and the table or member of the sort sequence table to be used. This value allows you to specify a sort sequence table other than those associated with the language specified in the Language identifer field. This sort sequence table can be used to sort Unicode and SBCS data. Note that you must use the format specified by the Naming convention selected on the Format tab.None
No sort sequence table is used. The hexadecimal values of the graphic characters are used to determine the sort sequence (a binary sort). This is the only sort sequence available for DBCS data.Note: When you specify values other than None for mixed-byte character data, SBCS character data is sorted according to the sort sequence specified. DBCS character data is sorted by hexadecimal values (binary sort).
Shared-weight table
Uppercase and lowercase characters sort as the same character. The sort sequence table can use the same weight for multiple graphic characters. The shared-weight sort table associated with the language specified in the Language identifer field is used. This sort applies only to SBCS data.Unique-weight table
Uppercase and lowercase characters sort as different characters. The sort sequence table contains uniquely weighted graphic characters. The unique-weight sort table associated with the language specified in the Language identifer field is used. This sort applies only to SBCS data.
