May 4, 2016 at 15:30 comment added Erik Eidt Yes, one needs to be able to define it in human language. In other words, it needs a domain-specific definition. With that, it ought to be trivial to code up. Defining the domain specific definition by giving a few examples is not very rigorous. So, I'd assert we can only point in the right direction here, as the domain definition of collation ordering is incomplete in the question.
