Description
currently this is alphabetical by name; the ideal solution would probably use something like unicode character database properties to sort by script, or block, and then in some well-defined order within those groups.
An acceptable temporary solution, to me, would be to sort by codepoint.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the glyph list and its current alphabetical sorting entry point, then inspect how glyph metadata is represented. Done means the list has a defined non-alphabetical ordering, with codepoint sorting acceptable as the temporary scope.
