In most languages using a script with letters, you have two ordering
schemes, the standard one, and the word-by-word one. In the latter, space
is significant on the first level. So both are correct, culturally.
I don't know how we can have an easy way to have both schemes available
to the user, except we provide two locales, with a small delta
(replace-after) to make the word-by-word locale. And then a general
naming scheme so the user can chose easily, like the @euro variants.
best regards
Keld
