To clarify: we'd need a one-to-one mapping from the languages that MediaWiki
support to system locales. Such a one-to-one correspondence might not exist for
all languages, and naming schemes for locales vary across systems, which makes
creating and maintaining this mapping pretty much impossible.

A more viable option would be to specify the sort order for each language in
the language file; leaving it up to the i18n folks to decide whether this is
desired.
