# Linguistic Sorting

PPM uses Oracle's linguistic sorting functionality. In addition to binary sorts, PPM supports both of the linguistic sort types that Oracle performs. These are:

- Monolingual linguistic sorts. These are typically used for European languages.

- Monolingual linguistic sorts. These are typically used for European languages.

Note: For detailed information on linguistic sorting, see the Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide for the Oracle version you have installed.

## Configuring Linguistic Sorting

You can edit the `mlu.conf` file to change the default sort setting (nlsSort variable) for each language deployed on the system.

To configure linguistic sorting:

1. In a text editor, open the `mlu.conf` files in the following two directories:

       Example: <PPM_Home>/conf/
       <PPM_Home>/server/<PPM Server_Node_Name>/deploy/itg.war/
       html/client/

2. To change the sort setting for a language, replace the displayed value with any Oracle-supported linguistic sort value.

   Note: For information on valid values for named linguistic sorts, see the OracleDatabase Globalization Support Guide for the Oracle version you have installed.

   Example

       Example: US.nlsSort=GENERIC_M
       DE.nlsSort=GERMAN
       KO.nlsSort=KOREAN_M

3. After you finish configuring the nlsSort variables in both `mlu.conf` files, save the files.

4. If your PPM instance includes multiple nodes in a cluster configuration, you must complete Step 1 through Step 3 for every node participating in the cluster.

5. Restart the PPM Server or servers.
