Ah, all along the seemingly consistent order of available languages on
the bottom of each page depends on hand sorting them in the source of
each page.

Let's imagine it is the year 2050 and each article has been translated
into each language. A simple misplaced language would e.g., cause ZH
users, who are used to looking for their language at the bottom, to not
find it.

Also some authors might think, "ZH is the worlds most populous language,
it belongs on the top!" So to prevent anarchy consider some standard
sort automatically implemented. OK, enough FUD from me today, bye.
