Rather, you should be concerned with Traditonal <=> Simplified mappings. I can see how it might seem to make some sense to put all purely simplified characters together; but when you consider that some simplified characters are really traditional simplifications, and when you consider that many traditional characters have no modern simplifications (the same characters are used in both Simplified and Traditional contexts), and when you consider that there are sometimes many-to-one mappings ... well, perhaps you see where I am going with this. -Richard
