European Ordering Rules - Ordering of characters from Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Georgian and Armenian scripts

Scope

This European Standard specifies the order between two character strings composed of characters from the Modern European Scripts (MES) collection of ISO/IEC 10646:2003 or subsets of it.
NOTE Collection 283 Modern European Scripts (MES) of ISO/IEC 10646:2003 was originally specified in CEN Workshop Agreement 13873:2000 Multilingual European Subsets of ISO/IEC 10646 as Multilingual European Subset Number 3 and was subsequently incorporated as a collection in Annex A of ISO/IEC 10646:2003 alongside its sister collections MES-1 and MES-2.
The ordering rules specified in this European Standard are only applicable for lists of data in more than one European language and when this data is intended for a multicultural audience. They complement existing national standards or practices in the field.
