I will get onto this when I have time. Or perhaps some of my 
colleagues can help too (they have been added to watch this 
bug). Please post contributions here (to this bug).

That is one acceptable solution, but it is not the 
traditional sorting order, which is something like:
a b (c) ch chh (d) e (f) g h ...

I still think we should concentrate on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (‘Latn’ 
per ISO 15924, not ‘Latin’) first.

Again, I think we should do [EMAIL PROTECTED] first. As they say, 
‘premature optimization (categorization) is the root of all 
evil’. (未成年就這麼優,是一切邪惡的根源。 /
