* \brief C API: Collator
*
* <h2> Collator C API </h2>
*
* The C API for Collator performs locale-sensitive
* string comparison. You use this service to build
* searching and sorting routines for natural language text.
* <p>
* For more information about the collation service see
* <a href="https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/collation">the User Guide</a>.
* <p>
* Collation service provides correct sorting orders for most locales supported in ICU.
* If specific data for a locale is not available, the orders eventually falls back
* to the <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-collation.html#Root_Collation">CLDR root sort order</a>.
* <p>
* Sort ordering may be customized by providing your own set of rules. For more on
* this subject see the <a href="https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/collation/customization">
* Collation Customization</a> section of the User Guide.
* <p>
