Description

Gnome::Gtk4::StringSorter is a Gnome::Gtk4::Sorter that compares strings.

It does the comparison in a linguistically correct way using the current locale by normalizing Unicode strings and possibly case-folding them before performing the comparison.

To obtain the strings to compare, this sorter evaluates a Gnome::Gtk4::Expression.
