	~~In using XLST~~ and XQuery ~~style sheets~~, classicists will find the need to alphabetize their material in ~~specialized manners~~. For example, scholars working with Latin may wish to conflate the i with the j and the u with the v, and those working with Greek may wish to have the ϙ (qoppa) collated in the alphabet, or to include characters that are outside the Greek and Coptic and Greek Extended planes.		When writing XSLT stylesheets and XQuery queries, classicists will find the need to alphabetize their material in orders determined by the language or other considerations. For example, scholars working with Latin may wish to conflate the i with the j and the u with the v, and those working with Greek may wish to have the ϙ (qoppa) collated in the alphabet, or to include characters that are outside the Greek and Coptic and Greek Extended planes.

	The W3C recommendations on XSLT ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/ 2.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/ 3.0]) and XQuery ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/ 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ 3.0]) provide for collations through attributes such as @collation, but they leave to individual transformation engines the decisions on how to construct and retrieve specific ~~collations.~~		The best solution is to use XSLT 3.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/), XQuery 3.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/), or XQuery 3.1 (https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/), which all support the Unicode Collation Algorithm as specified in the Functions and Operators specification (https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#uca-collations). Earlier W3C recommendations on XSLT ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/ 2.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/ 3.0]) and XQuery ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/ 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ 3.0]) provide for collations through attributes such as @collation, but they leave to individual transformation engines the decisions on how to construct and retrieve specific collations.

	~~XSLT-friendly collations that address the needs of those working with ancient languages are few and far between. Many require customized~~ collations.

In using XLST and XQuery style sheets, classicists will find the need to alphabetize their material in specialized manners. For example, scholars working with Latin may wish to conflate the i with the j and the u with the v, and those working with Greek may wish to have the ϙ (qoppa) collated in the alphabet, or to include characters that are outside the Greek and Coptic and Greek Extended planes.

The W3C recommendations on XSLT ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/ 2.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/ 3.0]) and XQuery ([http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/ 1.0], [http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30/ 3.0]) provide for collations through attributes such as @collation, but they leave to individual transformation engines the decisions on how to construct and retrieve specific collations.

XSLT-friendly collations that address the needs of those working with ancient languages are few and far between. Many require customized collations.
