A lot of software that provides language-specific collation (sorting) has 
radical/stroke-order collation for Chinese.
Operating systems, databases, and other applications and libraries provide such 
services.

As a standalone library, ICU for example provides UCA-based collation with such a 
tailoring (delta from UCA):

(Homepage: http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/)

The Unicode standard only provides a default collation for all characters, which may 
or may not match one or more competing standards for each script.
