Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 with Access Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.
  • The server language locale is Chinese (Simplified PRC).
  • The language locale of a client computer is Chinese (Simplified PRC).
  • You publish a Microsoft Access 2010 database from the client computer.�
  • You open the published database and�locate a table�that contains Chinese characters.�
  • You select an ascending sort for a column that contains Chinese numbers.
In this scenario, the column does not sort as expected. You notice that the numbers are not sorted correctly in ascending order.

If you use Access 2010 to sort the database table on the same column, the table sorts correctly.

Cause

This issue occurs because Access Services on SharePoint 2010 supports backward compatibility with earlier versions of Access. Microsoft Office Access 2007 and earlier versions use an older style of sorting Chinese characters that does not correctly weight every Chinese number.
