* The C API for Collator performs locale-sensitive
* string comparison. You use this service to build
* searching and sorting routines for natural language text.
- * <em>Important: </em>The ICU collation service has been reimplemented
- * in order to achieve better performance and UCA compliance.
- * For details, see the
- * <a href="http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm">
- * collation design document</a>.
* <p>
* For more information about the collation service see
- * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/Collate_Intro.html">the users guide</a>.
+ * <a href="http://userguide.icu-project.org/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/unicode/reports/tr10/">UCA sort order</a>.
+ * 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="http://icu-project.org/userguide/Collate_Customization.html">
- * Collation customization</a> section of the users guide.

+ * Merges two sort keys. The levels are merged with their corresponding counterparts
* (primaries with primaries, secondaries with secondaries etc.). Between the values
* from the same level a separator is inserted.
- * example (uncompressed):
- * 191B1D 01 050505 01 910505 00 and 1F2123 01 050505 01 910505 00
+ *
+ * This is useful, for example, for combining sort keys from first and last names
+ * to sort such pairs.
+ * See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Merging_Sort_Keys
+ *
+ * The recommended way to achieve "merged" sorting is by
+ * concatenating strings with U+FFFE between them.
+ * The concatenation has the same sort order as the merged sort keys,
+ * but merge(getSortKey(str1), getSortKey(str2)) may differ from getSortKey(str1 + '\uFFFE' + str2).
+ * Using strings with U+FFFE may yield shorter sort keys.
+ *
+ * For details about Sort Key Features see
+ * http://userguide.icu-project.org/collation/api#TOC-Sort-Key-Features
+ *
+ * It is possible to merge multiple sort keys by consecutively merging
+ * another one with the intermediate result.
+ *
+ * The length of the merge result is the sum of the lengths of the input sort keys.
+ *
+ * Example (uncompressed):
+ * <pre>191B1D 01 050505 01 910505 00
+ * 1F2123 01 050505 01 910505 00</pre>

- * This allows for concatenating of first and last names for sorting, among other things.
- * If the destination buffer is not big enough, the results are undefined.
- * If any of source lengths are zero or any of source pointers are NULL/undefined,
- * result is of size zero.
- * @param src1 pointer to the first sortkey
