Ah, I hadn't noticed this. So it's not unsorted at all, it's not sorted
the way I expected it to be :)
Sorting by english name of encoding (for example "Western"), since this
is what is displayed first, may be better. That's what I expected (and
that's what kate does on Linux).

Either I'm doing something wrong, or Scite cannot display Arabic (on
Windows, at least). Geany++ !
