OK, I guess I mustn't have expressed myself clearly.
I can't see how a preference is going to help here.

I can provide an explicit ordering in each an every resource locale that 
suits that locale. But I'm wondering whether there is a programmatic (or 
other) way to ensure that the values displayed by a ListPreference are in 
alpha order for the current locale?
