Details

Once bug 2022559 merges from autoland, Rust code in desktop Firefox will be able to use app_collator_glue::compare() to compare strings for sorting for presentation in the Firefox UI.

This function isn't available to application-services on mobile. It should be.

This involves:

  • Putting a version of app_collator_glue that removes everything but initialization and pub fn compare into the application-services repo as a crate that gets included in megazord but doesn't get vendored to Firefox desktop.
  • Figuring out what subset of collation data to ship in megazord (see bug 1986876 comment 1).
  • Figuring out how to obtain the app locale early in megazord initialization so that app_collator_glue can be initialized before anything calls compare.
