Sort label box by language name on Wikidata
- Problem: The label box is now sorted by Wikimedia's internal language code which usually, but not necessarily, follows ISO 639 codes. This is not shown to the users so the list appears quite arbitrary to those who do not know the logic behind why languages are where they are.
- Proposed solution: Introduced the ability to sort the labels by language name or Wikimedia's internal language code
- Who would benefit: Editors who contribute in multiple languages.
- More comments: Also see my other suggestions for improvements to the label box on Wikidata: Optional native language label language name, Wikimedias språkkod i etikettrutan på Wikidata jämte språknamnet

- Support – ideally it could be changed in user preferences in case editors prefer the current sorting order. –FlyingAce✈hello 01:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
