Problems ordering sqlite by a column with accented characters (Á)

Question

I have a sqlite database, and i need to order by a column that haves some words starting by a accented character. These items are being ordered wrong, they are appearing on

Answer 1

To support accented characters at database you can use the Normalizer class to store the text properly:

import java.text.Normalizer;

...

// Code to store the normalized data
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(COLUMN_NAME, Normalizer.normalize(name, Normalizer.Form.NFD));

...

// Code to read the normalized data
int indexName = cursor.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_NAME)
String name = Normalizer.normalize(cursor.getString(indexName), Normalizer.Form.NFC));

Storing the data in this way, the SQLite statemants ASC and DESC works properly with accented characters.
