Right, but if you use UTF-8, you don't need to sort these encodnigs, because 
Unicode is a 16-bit(or 32-bit) encoding which includes all these 
language-specific encodings. So one way is to use 8-bit encodings 
(ISO-8859-1, -2, ... -10) and differentiate them in dependence of concrete 
language and second way is to use UTF-8 for all languages. I recommend to use 
8-bit encodings, because as I know, MySQL does not have Unicode support yet 
(maybe it is already not true).
