Not for me. I get all dotfiles and dotdirs alphabetically, followed
by non-dotdirs. It's .(A-Z then a-z):

Well, there's dpkg-reconfigure locales. Then you just choose to use
them. Most take their cue from what locale says, while some apps can
be extended, ie. mutt uses magic like:
set send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:utf-8"

Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
