[android-developers] Re: Alpha ordering ListPreference values to suit current locale

OK, I guess I mustn't have expressed myself clearly.

I can't see how a preference is going to help here.

I can provide an explicit ordering in each an every resource locale that suits that locale. But I'm wondering whether there is a programmatic (or other) way to ensure that the values displayed by a ListPreference are in alpha order for the current locale?

smells like a database driven custom preference to me.

What's the optimal way to ensure that the values in a ListPreference are alpha ordered according to the current locale?

Eg if my list contains languages

<string-array name="language_keys">

  <item>cs</item>

  <item>da</item>

  <item>de</item>

  <item>en</item>

  <item>es</item>

  <item>fi</item>

</string-array>

<string-array name="language_values"> <!-- English displays -->

  <item>Czech</item>

  <item>Danish</item>

  <item>German</item>

  <item>English</item>

  <item>Spanish</item>

  <item>Finnish</item>

</string-array>

<string-array name="language_values"> <!-- German displays -->

  <item>Tschechisch</item>

  <item>Dänisch</item>

  <item>Deutsch</item>

  <item>Englisch</item>

  <item>Spanisch</item>

  <item>Finnisch</item>

</string-array>

Should I replicate the keys and values in all resource locales and change their order to suit? Or is their some way that I haven't found yet where I can readily apply a sort to the ListPreference keys and values?
