           Summary: French (fr) sorting does not use 'backward' rule any
                    more with ICU 4.6
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jshin at chromium.org

French (fr_FR and many fr_FOO other than fr_CA) sorting does not use 'backward first accent weighting' rules any more. Thus, CLDR 1.9 and ICU 4.6 have different sorting for fr_FOO (where FOO !=CA) and fr_CA. 

fast/xsl/sort-locale has the expectation that treats both the same. Because other ports of Webkit still use old rules while Chrome with ICU 4.6 uses new rules, the expected result should go in platform/chromium. 

I'm making a patch.
