European ordering rules
open-in-new
<p>The European ordering rules (EOR / EN 13710) define an ordering for strings written in languages that are written with the <a href="/facts/Latin_alphabet/pqWVHpBz">Latin</a>, <a href="/facts/Greek_alphabet/1cHwB8Dg">Greek</a> and <a href="/facts/Cyrillic_script/0btN3oWC">Cyrillic</a> <a href="/facts/Alphabet/vqfRpS3E">alphabets</a>. The standard covers languages used by the <a href="/facts/European_Union/6GYcR8qM">European Union</a>, the <a href="/facts/European_Free_Trade_Association/m8yeTInz">European Free Trade Association</a>, and parts of the <a href="/facts/Former_Soviet_Union/usrFwWTU">former Soviet Union</a>. It is a tailoring of the <i>Common Tailorable Template</i> of <a href="/facts/ISO/IEC_14651/vrfMDEzb">ISO/IEC 14651</a>. EOR can in turn be tailored for different (European) languages. But in inter-European contexts, EOR can be used without further tailoring. </p>
