Pages are sorted based on their first letter. It doesn't matter what alphabet
that is. However, currently the ordering of the letters is probably a bit
wrong. This will probably be fixed when we move to the uca-default collation
([[Unicode_collation_algorithm]]) (Or at least will make it significantly
better - it might not be perfect for all languages. How good it is for ltg is
something I don't know, but I imagine it would be acceptable.). Last I heard
the plan was to move to that sometime in the near-ish future, but I don't know
any details specifically.

If the uca-default collation (when we move to it) isn't sufficient, its
possible to write another collation algorithm specifically for a language, but
that does require some effort from developers (its not a 10 second change), and
should be filed as a separate feature request. However, I'd be very surprised
if uca-default wasn't good enough since Latgalian seems just to be latin
letters plus some accents.

Thus, that issue will probably fix itself once the change to uca-default
collation is made across Wikimedia.
