--- Comment #3 from Neil Roberts <[email protected]> ---
I think this is a separate issue from bug 65018.

As far as I can tell, the sorting works by having a locale-specific ordering
specified in an XML file in i18npool/source/localedata/data. For example, en-US
only defines an order for the Latin alphabet like this:

<IndexKey phonetic="false" default="true" unoid="alphanumeric">A-Z</IndexKey>

For any characters not specified by that key, it looks like the ICU library is
used. That has defined weights for different characters and I guess those are
used for sorting.

So I think the order is effectively “unicode order”, because it’s the sorting
order defined by Unicode, but that’s not the same thing as sorting by the
codepoint number. That seems like reasonable behaviour to me so maybe we can
close this bug as NOTABUG.
