there is a state level organisation called Rajya
Marathi Vikas Parishad which is supposed to decide the
linguistic issues. They also have a sorting order for
marathi. This order is based on half-letter forms i.e.
halantKa, halantaKha and so on.We have implemented
this order in a C program. If you want I can send you
that
