Description Gil Forcada 2008-08-10 22:40:29 UTC 
In the languages view, i.e. http://l10n.gnome.org/languages the languages has been sorted by English version, but when you see the page localized the languages are out of order.
Comment 1 Gil Forcada 2008-08-10 22:46:06 UTC 
Ok, it's sorted correctly, but the diacritics are counted as a different letter and they end up after Z languages, i.e.
#  Xosa
# Yoruba
# Zulu
# Àrab
# Àzeri
# Àzeri iranià

Àrab (Arabic), Àzeri (Azerbaijani) and Àzeri iranià (Iranian Azerbaijani).

Maybe it's because they are considered normal strings instead of utf-8 strings? Haven't dig it, but seems like it's this.
Comment 2 Gil Forcada 2008-08-10 22:50:07 UTC 
That's weird (in an interactive Python shell):

>>> bla = ['hola', 'com', u'estàs', 'avui', 'zulu', u'àra']
>>> bla.sort()
>>> bla
['avui', 'com', u'est\xe0s', 'hola', 'zulu', u'\xe0ra']

Is able Python to sort correctly with utf-8 characters inside?
