For Kannada (of which I'm a native speaker) there is a document
published by the Kannada Ganaka parishat, which clarifies these rules -
such as Does Ka Halant come before or after Ka in the sorting order.

About databases, yes - I've experimented with postgres. My first
experiment was a user contributed Indian language dictionary.

Since very few people seem to have access to a browser that can display
Indian languages, I haven't had much response. But hopefully, that'll 
change over time.
