Description

Author: a.d.bergi

Description:
Each category has its own sorting order (customizing of that is T30397), and when a category is shown the collation is splitted up by starting letters (of the sort key). For big categories and categories sorted by a date it would be very useful to change the behavior of that splitting prozess.
E.g. in a category where all sortkeys start with a year the sections should be titled with four digit numbers.

This would be difficult to implement for uca based collations (I believe anyways). For the "uppercase" and "identity" collations it would be more do-able to implement (not sure how it'd work with the magic we do for Hangul syllables though), but I'm not exactly sure how one would cleanly hook a parser func into Collation::getFirstLetter.

This is very similar and possibly a dupe of bug 2802.
