Introduction
------------
Currently, June 1, 2015, Sphinx 1.3.1 cannot generate localized heading in
index pages and glossary directives. This package make the *gate* to make
the Sphinx internationalized. This means another package is required to
do, I will make the one named 'Gosyu', please find that on pip.

This package does not depends on the Sphinx. You can use this for another
text proccesing product.

License
-------
2-clause BSD, same as the Sphinx project.

Installation
------------
You can install or uninstall this package like another Python packages.
Also, you can use this package without installing this package on your Python
systems, the configuration file of Sphinx(:fn_rst:`conf.py`) enable you to use.

Requirements
............
Tested with 32bit version of Python 2.7.9 and 64bit version of 3.4.3,
both on the Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit edition.
But with another versions and on another OSs would be usable.

How to install
..............
Again, you can install this package as you will do with another one.

#. Open a console and do :code:`pip install sortorder`.

On the MS-Windows,
:code:`<python_installed_path>\Scripts\pip.exe install sortorder`.

#. Or when you get zip archive like :fn_rst:`sortorder-2.0.5(.zip)`
where '2.0.5' is version number,
change current directiory to the folder that has the zip file,
and do :code:`setup.py sortorder-2.0.5.zip`.

On the MS-Windows,
:code:`<python_installed_path>\Scripts\pip.exe install sortorder-2.0.5.zip`.

#. Or, this way is the Sphinx specific, you can use this package just extracted
any folder you want. the :fn_rst:`conf.py` enables you to use the themes and
extensions.

How to use (with Sphinx)
------------------------
To know how to use the sort order you already have, see yogosyu_ or gosyu_.

If you want to use one of the preset sort orders this package has, just
:code:`language = 'xx'`. it causes automatically load :fn_rst:`sortorder.xx`.

Currently, :code:`xx` is available :code:`ja`, :code:`eo`, :code:`el` and
:code:`ru` for the presets.

To know how to make your own sortorder, see :fn_rst:`sortorder/__init__.py`.

In short:

- determine the filename of the new module and create it.
if you name :fn_rst:`sort_order_xx.py`, it will automatically loaded
when :code:`language = 'xx'` is declared.
- write :code:`import sortorder`.
- make the class inherits :class:`sortorder.SortOrderBase`.
- override :code:`get_string_to_sort` and :code:`get_group_name`.
- make :code:`get_default_sort_order`\ returns the instance of the class.
- make :code:`setup`. see any of :fn_rst:`sortorder.xx` included this package.

How to use (General)
--------------------
If you have this module not installed by pip, you should first do
:code:`sys.path.insert(0, '<the_folder_you_copied_the_extension_file>')`.

Second, if you want directly use :code:`ja.py` (Japanese), :code:`eo.py` (Esperanto),
:code:`el.py` (Greek) or :code:`ru.py` (Russian), Just do :code:`import sortorder.xxx`
where :code:`xxx` is language code like :code:`ja`, :code:`eo`, etc.

Otherwise, you should make the your sort-order module as you want.
You should define the new class which inherits
:class:`sortorder.SortOrderBase`. The filename of the module should
prefixed :code:`sort_order_`, like :fn_rst:`sort_order_xx.py`.

:code:`get_default_sort_order` and :code:`setup` methods are only used by
the Sphinx document generator.

After you make :fn_rst:`sort_order_xx.py` or you have it someone gives, add the path
of the \.py file to :code:`sys.path` like above. Next import the module:

.. code-block:: python

sys.path.insert(0, '<the_folder_you_copied_the_extension_file>')
# (snip...)
import sort_order_xx # may automatically import sortorder.__init__.py

But :fn_rst:`sortorder.__init__` has the method :code:`get_sort_order`.
You can add your code some automatic feature like used with the Sphinx,
by defining :code:`get_default_sort_order` method in your module.
