Hi Walid
I am using now MySQL-server-4.0.12-0.i386, and the character set is Latin1 by default. They claim that 4.1 which is beta version now has multiple character sets for many languages.
I change the character set to hebrew, and it does sorting arabic letters very well. but I don't like this choice to be part of ancient jewish language.
I read the link of adding new character sets, but the difficulty here is how to write a new character sets. just give me a start.
Regards
-Yaser

I recall that one of the features that have been introduced in 4.x is
i18n, I have read that in linuxmagazine (the US edition).
check this link for how to add a charset :

unless you say more about what you have done, what is your setup I am
afraid no one will be able to suggest a solution!
Walid.
