There is no perfect solution I'm afraid. Using the native language name seems most logical, but then ordering alphabetically is not possible. http://www.wikipedia.org/ uses the native language name and orders by sound.
For choosing a default language, you could use the language preference of the user. With each request the browser includes the language preference of the user. It's stored in the variable HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE and will look like something as "en-ca,en;q=0.8,fr-ca;q=0.5,fr;q=0.3". The http_accept_language variable contains a comma separated list of possible languages/locales, each (optional) with a quotient indicating the order of importance.
