0x55 brings up an interesting point. On Linux and some unixes you can set the locale using values of this format - which suggests they're using standard libraries. However there are a family of locale settings and since there's only one in the .conf file it will probably be being used for all of them (in general you want to set you time and date, character set, collation, money format settings to related settings). Maybe they haven't exposed this setting because they want to split it up into individual settings.
It would be interesting to know if changing the locale changed the sort order.
