Class std::collate encapsulates locale-specific collation (comparison) and hashing of strings. This facet is used by std::basic_regex and can be applied, by means of std::locale::operator(), directly to all standard algorithms that expect a string comparison predicate.
Two specializations are provided by the standard library and are implemented by all locale objects created in a C++ program:

[edit] Example
#include <locale> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> int main() { std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("")); std::vector<std::wstring> v = {L"ar", L"zebra", L"\u00f6grupp", L"Zebra", L"\u00e4ngel", L"\u00e5r", L"f\u00f6rnamn"}; std::wcout << "Default locale collation order: "; std::sort(v.begin(), v.end()); for(auto s : v) std::wcout << s << ' '; std::wcout << '\n'; std::wcout << "English locale collation order: "; std::sort(v.begin(), v.end(), std::locale("en_US.UTF-8")); for(auto s : v) std::wcout << s << ' '; std::wcout << '\n'; std::wcout << "Swedish locale collation order: "; std::sort(v.begin(), v.end(), std::locale("sv_SE.UTF-8")); for(auto s : v) std::wcout << s << ' '; std::wcout << '\n'; }
Output:
Default locale collation order: Zebra ar förnamn zebra ängel år ögrupp English locale collation order: ängel ar år förnamn ögrupp zebra Zebra Swedish locale collation order: ar förnamn zebra Zebra år ängel ögrupp
