I found a unicode table: when I got down to the main section of CJK characters it became pretty obvious that they had been sorted as they would be in a Kanji dictionary. So if the traditional key root radicle was, Eg. 'tree' or 'water' all those kanji were grouped together in ascending order of extra brush strokes. I would expect many CJK searches to follow that order.
If search engines have been developed using PinYin as the search order for Chinese, or Kokugo for Japanese: you will have to find one. Linux developer lists concerning the relevant portions of the OS may have useful details? When I look at Mac OS language preference settings; sorting; there are two choices: unihan and Japanese. I can guess which is which but it will need testing... Mac OS Chinese sort orders available are listed as: Pinyin; Simplified Chinese; Stroke; Traditional Chinese. Deep in the bowels of Mac Dev Doc there is certainly documentation — somewhere. I suspect the same is true for some Linux distros; all of them, possibly? The Japanese reading and writing population must be 130,000,000 + some in Brazil. Chinese readers and writers somewhere between a billion or two? *There will be no way to influence their computing practices:* so we *must make the best use* of what may be available. What you want does seem to be available, Murray. It is a question of seeing how to implement it.
