Does that compare mod collate-equality?

Useful for equality testing, or for comparing (and sorting)?  You speak
about the latter in the doc.  I don't understand why the doc of
`string-collate-equal-p' mentions sorting at all.  Is it useful for
that?  (not a rhetorical question but for my understanding of the
current text)


Thanks,

Michael.
