Bitmask values:<br /><br /> Ignore case : 1<br /><br /> Ignore accent : 2<br /><br /> Ignore Kana : 65536<br /><br /> Ignore width : 131072<br /><br /> Note: Even though it affects the comparison behavior, the variation-selector-sensitive (\_VSS) option is not represented in this value.|  
-|**Version**|The version of the collation, derived from the version field of the collation ID. Returns an integer value between 0 and 3.<br /><br /> Collations with "140" in the name return 3.<br /><br /> Collations with "100" in the name return 2.<br /><br /> Collations with "90" in the name return 1.<br /><br /> All other collations return 0.|
