SUMMARY
Some applications with the same name across languages are sorted differently
depending on locale.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have KDE Connect or LibreOffice installed.
2. Open the KDE application menu (any of the alternatives with categories) and
open the Network/Office category.
OBSERVED RESULT
Depending on the configured KDE interface language, applications are sorted
differently.
- In English (US) or German, "KDE Connect" is first, "KDE Connect SMS" is
second; "LibreOffice" is first, then come "LibreOffice Base" etc.
- In Japanese or Russian, "KDE Connect" and "LibreOffice" are last; the rest
are sorted in the same order.
EXPECTED RESULT
For these languages and app names, I think they should be sorted in the same
way in Japanese and Russian as they are in English (US) and German.
For example, in Python sorting them using `locale.strxfrm(name).casefold()`
yields the same results as English (US) and German.
