Regional formats are sorted alphabetically by invisible ISO code

[tarasy]

In "Regional formats', available formats appear to be sorted by ISO code (not visible to the user), rather than name of format (visible to the user).

For example:
English (Canada)
English (Denmark)
English (United Kingdom) [ <-- Presumably 'en-gb']
English (Hong Kong)
English (Ireland)

Hi Taras,
Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue.

While what you say is true, I'm not sure it would be better to change it. The reason is that the labels are displayed in respective native language, and it's not obvious where in the list items like "汉语 (中国)" and "বাংলা (বাংলাদেশ)" should be placed. With the current way you at least make sure that locales belonging to the same language appear consecutively.
