Adriano, thank You for Yor reply. !Besos!

(From readme.intl.txt)
create collation win1252_unicode for win1252;
WORKS

(from tracker core-635)
CREATE COLLATION UNICODE_CZ FOR UTF8 FROM UNICODE 'LOCALE=cs_CZ';
FAILS:Invalid collation attributes

(tracker core-824 (?))
CREATE COLLATION UNICODE_CI2 FOR UTF8 FROM UNICODE_CI;
WORKS (but quite pointless, right?)

and of course:
ALTER TABLE SWTEST ADD
test2 Char(25) CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE UNICODE_CI;
WORKS

select * from swtest order by test2 collate cs_CZ;
FAILS: Data type unknown
COLLATION CS_CZ for CHARACTER SET UTF8 is not defined
(did try EN_US, EN_GB as well - no luck)

And UNICODE_CI does still order A, å, B, O, &oring, Z...

-----

One solution however, would be if fbclient can remap charset
<client utf8> <fbclient> <db win1252> but that can't be done, right?

As always, thankful for any help!
