There is a potential problem were we to widen the scope by adopting
LangSortOrder.
There are some alphabets with letters that have two characters!
Not to mention that there are scripts that use non-alphabet writing systems.
(Syllabaries, Abudiga, Ideogram, etc)

I think I now understand better why John designed this feature.
The example (now in the wiki page) is for Turkmen Latin.
LangSortOrder=AaBbCcÇçDdEeÄ䯿FfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnŇňOoÖöPpQqRrSsŞşTtUuÜüVvWwXxYyÝýZzŽž
Observe the strange order in that, with Ä䯿 between Ee and Ff.
Why on earth, might you as
Here's an actual example for IBT module TKLDICT which has Lang=tk-Latn (i.e.
Türkmençe):
LangSortOrder=AaBbCcÇçDdEeÄ䯿FfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnŇňOoÖöPpQqRrSsŞşTtUuÜüVvWwXxYyÝýZzŽž

It certainly looks that way, Peter.
When John Austin does something particular like this, it's usually for a
very sound reason.
If adopted into SWORD, it wouldn't be the first time that one of his ideas
has become mainstream.

So, in absence of a existing mechanism the suggestion by David, coming from
XULsword is probably sensible?
