I suppose that by "p, ch, zh, g, and ng", you refer to letters which are not
used in Arabic itself, but in Persian.

Currently, these are the last letters in the Arabic section of
jquery.wikiEditor.toolbar.config.js: "\u067e", "\u0686", "\u0698", "\u06af",
"\u06ad".

I see no reason to put them in front of the regular Arabic letters. Rather, a
new section can be created for them. The precedent for it is that there are
three groups for Latin:
* "Latin", which includes the most common special characters of European
languages;
* "Latin extended", which includes the more exotic characters for languages
such Vietnamese;
* the super-exotic "IPA".

There are many more special Arabic characters than "p, ch, zh, g, and ng".
There are special characters for Urdu, Pashto, Sindhi etc. All of them can go
to an "Arabic Extended" section, which would be useful for people who have a
regular Arabic keyboard and need to type names in Urdu, Persian etc.
