[SailfishDevel] Is Qt on Sailfish OS using ICU?

[Buschmann]

Hello list,

I run into a problem when trying to sort a list of strings locale aware.
When using QString::localeAwareCompare(), it seems only to use the
system locale, not the locale I set as default (QLocale::setDefault())
on application startup. As I read, this is the normal behavior when
using the localeAwareCompare() function of QString. Since Qt 5.2 there
is QCollator and QString uses it for comparing two string if QT_USE_ICU
is defined on building Qt. [1]

The "funny" thing for me is, that I compare two string roles in a row.
This first strings are compared as expected, the second strings not.

So, my question is now, as in the subject, if Qt on Sailfish is compiled
to use ICU (so using QCollator) or if it uses ucstrcmp. At least
libicu52 seems to be installed.

Best greetings
Matthias Fehring
