Why is not åäö sorted right in the people view(names.nsf) on a iseries server(AS400) with Lotus Domino R5 or R6.5.1 English with Langpack for Swedish. It works with the same configuration on a server with Windows 2000, why?

The iSeries uses EBCDIC character set versus ASCII code on Windows machines. EBCDIC interprets every value above ASCII 127 as a space or some other weird character. The results are unpredictable.You should not use special characters in names anyway, cause they won’t work as internet mail addresses.

Thanks, but however I want to have E-Mail address without åäö and user name with the users normal name in Sweden with ÅÄÖ like Åsa Åström, the only trouble with this is that the view in the Domino Directory(names.nsf) don’t sort name with åäö right in the people view. ÅÄ is sorted with A and Ö with O, is it any package(PTF) that I can install on the iseries server(AS400/OS/400 V5R2) that give the server this function, or is it any parameter in notes.ini or on the AS400 server that give the Lotus Domino server the possibility to sort ÅÄÖ right in view like people view in the Domino Directory(names.nsf)?

No PTF that I’m aware of. What we have to keep in mind here is that any special character doesn’t get sorted right. We would have the same problem in french with é, è, à ç etc if we were using them in user names like Françoise. We simply avoid the problem by spelling it wrong e.g. Francoise.
