Bug Description

Norway operates with "two" versions of the Norwegian language:
"Bokmål" , and "Nynorsk"
Bokmål is the common, normal language
Nynorsk is a bizarre pile of crap they teach at school for 2-3 years.

Anyway:

The iso-639 list contains these:

Bokmål, Norwegian
Norwegian (? - can be removed - I assume it's the same as bokmål, anyway only two should be needed)
Norwegian Nynorsk......

the problem is that the first, "bokmål, norwegian" starts with "B" and can be found in a completely different place.
"Bokmål, Norwegian...." should be renamed to "Norwegian, Bokmål...."

Bokmal and Nynorsk should definitely be beside each other in the language list.
Suggestion:
Norwegian (Bokmål)
Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Remove the Norwegian option as it is ambiguous.
