[ubuntu-uk] "Alphabetise" != en_GB

[John Oliver]

Personally I always preferred Windows' answer to arranging desktop icons, but true to what the GNOME 3 team said a few years ago, despite the response they got including myself, I've actually stopped using it for icons now (I use Unity 14.04). 

I still have some on my Windows 7 desktop but that's because the start menu in W7 is not nearly as good for searching for programs as Gnome 3, Unity or Windows 8 start screen. 

Whoops, probably a little OT, sorry about that!

Regards, John Oliver
