Description

It would be great if controlled vocabulary can be sort by different order for different locale.
And/or add the abillity to sort alphabeticly.

Ex: Germany is "Allemagne" in french so it is not at the same place

Research direction

Start by locating the controlled-vocabulary handling and locale-translation entry points in the Dataverse codebase. Clarify whether sorting should follow each locale's translated labels, support alphabetical ordering, or both, then define completion as consistent locale-aware ordering with coverage for the requested behavior.
