There is a problem with that, namely that title sort is not actually dynamically calculated, except on initial import. After that it is stored in the db. Often on initial import, the language metadata is not present/correct, so dynamically adjusting the algorithm might actually yield worse results on average. Another place it can be applied dynamically is on the clicking of the auto generate title sort button, based on the current book language. However, for this to happen someone will have to write the language specific sorting code for each language.
