It should be fairly simple to do with a derived property that you can use in 
the sort descriptor:

        + (NSSet*) keyPathsForValuesAffectingLocalizedName
        {
                return [NSSet setWithObject: @"name"];
        }

        - (NSString*) localizedName
        {
                return NSLocalizedString (self.name, nil);
        }

Of course, if you don't currently have a custom subclass for the entity you'll 
have to create one. Also, I don't really recommend calling the property 
"localizedName" -- it's too generic and too likely to get confused with 
something in the frameworks. (For that matter, I don't recommend calling any 
property "name". One horrendous debugging experience with exceptions 
complaining about property name -- where you can't figure out whether it means 
a property name, or the property named "name", or one of many "name" properties 
you defined in lots of different classes -- is enough to put an end to that 
practice.)
