Technical details

By default, the add-on uses the Unicode collation algorithm (via pyuca) for sorting.

The add-on also supports the unicase SQLite collation added by Anki, which does Unicode case-folding using the unicase crate. You can enable it by changing the COLLATION enum variable in the code.
