thanks.

as it happens, I am a programmer (Perl, PHP, Bash) and had considered 
writing a solution. However, when the translations come in sporadically 
as needed (this is an ongoing project, and there are no absolutely 
completed strings-lists), it is easier to just copy/paste from one to 
the other.

I'm surprised the argument against having a simple click-to-sort is so 
vehement, but accept that not everyone needs/wants it.
