[Bug 1055216] Re: Regional formats are sorted alphabetically by invisible ISO code

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hi Taras,
Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue.

While what you say is true, I'm not sure it would be better to change
it. The reason is that the labels are displayed in respective native
language, and it's not obvious where in the list items like "汉语 (中国)"
and "বাংলা (বাংলাদেশ)" should be placed. With the current way you at
least make sure that locales belonging to the same language appear
consecutively.

Title:
  Regional formats are sorted alphabetically by invisible ISO code

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In "Regional formats', available formats appear to be sorted by ISO
  code (not visible to the user), rather than name of format (visible to
  the user).

  English (Canada)
  English (Denmark)
  English (United Kingdom) [ <-- Presumably 'en-gb']
  English (Hong Kong)
  English (Ireland)
