There seems to be some debate on the proper sorting order of both the
Hebrew and Arabic alphabets.  Many feel the existing Unicode table is
inaccurate and incomplete.


Is there any Arabic and Hebrew Linguists out there? I need the proper
sort order and rules for both languages.  This needs to include
diacritics, etc.

Is there any contextual rules I need to be aware of? (eg the letter has
more or less weight than normal depending if it is by itself or
something like that)

I appreciate any help.  I need answers very quickly, or I will be
forced to use the existing tables.
