I'm not clear if your script is trying to do this, but there is no way to automatically alphabetize the file.  That's why it says "rough" alphabetic order.  The issue is that different languages alphabetize different letters in different places.  We try to respect the alphabetization of the source language as much as practical...which means there is no algorithm that can do the sorting, since the names in the file do not carry explicit language information.
