MySQL returns char strings as they were inserted. For correct sorting
you can set up hebrew character set starting mysqld with
--default-character-set=hebrew
MySQL doesn't have arabic character set. As a quick solution for
correcting sorting is storage your data as binary in BLOB or VARCHAR
BINARY columns.
You can also add arabic support by yourself. How to do so read in the
MySQL manual, section '4.6.3 Adding a New Character Set':
