Specifies the default sort sequence for use on the system. Sort sequence is the order in which characters are arranged within the computer to sort, combine, or compare data. The sort sequence tables sort characters more accurately, in accordance with the cultural requirements of users. Regardless of the country or single-byte coded character set language in use, you can sort lists that match a sequence consistent with your language and alphabet.
The following are possible options:
No sort sequence table is used. The hexadecimal values of the characters are used to determine the sort sequence.
The sort sequence table used can contain the same weight for multiple characters. It is the shared weight sort table associated with the language specified on the Language/Characters page.
The sort sequence table used must contain a unique weight for each character in the code page. It is the unique weight sort table associated with the language specified on the Language/Characters page.
The specified name and library of the sort sequence table are used. The sort sequence table must exist in the system disk pool or in a basic user disk pool.
