  [in context](/language/operators#infix_coll)
  for **infix coll**.
  
  ```raku
  multi infix:<coll>(Str:D \a, Str:D \b --> Order:D)
  multi infix:<coll>(Cool:D \a, Cool:D \b --> Order:D)
  multi infix:<coll>(Pair:D \a, Pair:D \b --> Order:D)
  ```
  
  `coll` is a sorting operator that takes pairs of [`Str`](/type/Str)s, [`Cool`](/type/Cool)s or [`Pair`](/type/Pair)s and returns an [`Order`](/type/Order) that uses the `$*COLLATION` order. The default behavior disregards diacritic marks and capitalization, for instance.
  
  ```raku
  say "b" cmp "à";  # OUTPUT: «Less␤»
  say "b" coll "à"; # OUTPUT: «More␤»
  ```
  
  In the first case, lexicographic or codepoint order is taken into account. In the second, which uses `coll`, the diacritic is not considered and sorting happens according to intuitive order.
  
  **NOTE:** These are not yet implemented in the JVM.
