I have also found that when LINGUAS is set to multiple values, emerge
-pv sorts them when it shwos what it would do:

    # LINGUAS="en_US en_GB en" emerge -pv --nospinner mozilla-firefox-bin

    These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

    Calculating dependencies ... done!
    [ebuild     U ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-3.0_rc1 [3.0_beta5-r1] 
USE="-restrict-javascript" LINGUAS="en en_GB en_US" 0 kB 

    Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Whether or not this reported order is what it actually uses, I don't
know and don't know how to find out.
