Copying from my comment on bug 186979:

"The languages are sorted by their ISO-639 language code (i.e. the first
bit of $LANG). nb < ne < nl < nn (Norsk bokmål, Nepali, Nederlands,
Norsk nynorsk).

I acknowledge that it is not perfect, but I'm not convinced that your
proposal is fully-specified, and it's exactly this woolliness that has
held me back from doing it that way in the past. See bug 39299. The
short answer is that there is no sort order that makes sense to speakers
of all languages, even if we as English speakers have an intuition that
says that it makes sense to sort similar-looking Latin letters together.
The current behaviour is a compromise."
