--- Comment #3 from Huanyu Liu <[email protected]> ---
In my opinion, it is not a good idea to implement this feature as a "generic"
one. As bgt pointed out, the characters of Chinese numbers don't always have a
numeric meaning. For example, they can be used in person names (李一鸣), or in
some compounds (一致). Consider a similar case in English: it is not a good idea
to have "Thomas Nine" sorted before "Thomas Brown" just because his family name
"Nine" is treated as 9.

Indeed, Chinese numbers are quite often used in formal documents as "附件一/二/三/…"
(Attachment No. 1/2/3/...). But as far as I know, there is no *generic* sorting
method aware of this. If this feature is really needed, then I suggest
implementing it as an optional "plugin". By the way, Japanese users will also
benefit from this besides Chinese users.

Also, Ismael's result is only true in a non-Chinese environment. By default,
characters are sorted by Pinyin in a Chinese environment. The result should be:
八 (8, bā), 二 (2, èr), 九 (9, jiǔ), 六 (6, liù), 七 (7, qī), 三 (3, sān), 十 (10,
shí), 四 (4, sì), 五 (5, wǔ), 一 (1, yī).
Not that bad before 5?
