Hi Gerd In the resource/sort/cp*.txt sort definitions, I notices that all but cp1252.txt/Western European and cp65001.txt/unicode don't handle "#" correctly and cp1252.txt/Western European and cp1254.txt/Turkish don't add expansions for all their double-characters. Patch attached that fixes these problems, makes the layout consistent, adds useful information to README and removes the id2 current value, which just gets out-of-date. All the id2 values are incremented if appropriate. The "#" fix might be the reason why searching for street names starting with # didn't work for code-page=0 / format6 Adding the "ß" expansion might be a step towards resolving the problem with searching and --lower-case that the subject of discussion a year or so ago - I can't find the thread.
