Correct me if wrong, but Pinyin is not a valid encoding type, so there's
no clear conversion from a chinese symbol to its romanization in Pinyin
(maybe there is?). Thus, if any order to be applied to the output search
results, it should be in a valid encoding like one of the GBs or Big5,
which can be converted from UTF-8 .

Not supported I believe. If sorted, it will be ordered by the UTF-8
representation of the chinese word. An additional processing would be
needed over the search results in order to convert the results to the
user's desired encoding and re-sort those results afterwards.

Cheers!
