This does not answer the why, but as far as case specific, you can sort lines of 
<original text> by word 1 of each ascending text

Okay, here is a Monday morning puzzler for folks:

Take the following text:

Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Arabic عربى
Greek Ελληνικά
Russian русский
Norwegian Norsk

"sort lines of <original text> ascending international" produces exactly what 
is expected:

Arabic عربى
Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Greek Ελληνικά
Norwegian Norsk
Russian русский

However, "sort lines of <original text> ascending text" produces:

Arabic عربى
Chinese 中文
Georgian ქართული
Greek Ελληνικά
Russian русский
Norwegian Norsk

Now, WHY should Russian appear BEFORE Norwegian with R before N in treating it as a 
straight ASCII sort ("text")???

Try it yourself in LC9.0.5rc1. Is this a BUG? or should unpredictable results be expected 
if using a default (as "text" is the default) sort of text in LC9.0.5?
