====CSV Dialect====
{{stub}}<!-- new in Gramps 5.2-->
CSV stands for '''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values comma-separated values]'''. It is a plain text file format that separate data into columns and rows for simple way to exchange data. Originally, data was limited by being separated into columns by fixed positions in <code>.txt</code> text files. When more flexibility was needed, the comma was chosen as a delimiter to mark the boundaries of the columns and the <code>.csv</code> format of a text file was established. To complicate matters, different Operating System marked their end-of-line and end-of-file with different terminating codes.
From the {{man label|Style:}} drop down list you can choose an existing custom style.

If you want to choose a locale 'variant' for sorting that is not the default variant, then you can start Gramps from the terminal (or console) with a different LC_COLLATE environment. For example, the default sorting (collation) variant for Swedish is "reformed", but you can instead choose "standard" by typing:
