gsoc-alphabetical_order

[Fòram na Gàidhlig]

I had a quick look at the code, you have hard-coded the alphabet. This
means that the alphabetical sorting will only work for English -
languages that are using diacritics like é or ü will have a problem, as
well as language that use non-Latin alphabets. Unfortunately, Unicode
code points will not do this job for you either.

Alphabetical order is also language-dependent, so, unless there is a
library that you can use, the best way out will be to make the letters
and letter order translateable and leave it up to the localizers to
define the order for you.

Another issue to keep in mind is that while ideographic languages like
Chinese do have a system that they use to sort them, there are too many
characters to list all of them, so you might want to skip ordering there.

Furthermore, some languages need to teach multigraphs as well (e.g. like
"sh" makes 1 sound in English, but uses 2 letters - this is very
important for some languages).
