Sort library categories differently

[Ubuntu-2020]

I suggest changing the sorting by category. Now the sorting is in the English alphabet: A-B-C - etc.:

I suggest changing this list to look like this:

• All
• Wikipedia
• Wikinews
• Wikiversity
• Wikivoyage
• Wikiquote
• Wikisource
• Wiktionary
• Vikidia
• Psiram
• Stack Exchange
• Other

PS: maybe you should delete Psiram?

In the future, the list will be dynamically retrieved from the OPDS stream. See https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues/318. It will be decided upstream.

In kiwix/kiwix-desktop#965, im still sorting the items alphabetically. Do we use the default order as provided by libkiwix?

[kelson42]

@juuz0 The order should follow the one in the OPDS stream. We have a very similar problem with https://github.com/kiwix/libkiwix/issues/980 IMO. Therefore this ticket should probably be moved on kiwix/libkiwix

This is not exactly the same problem. Here it is easy to found a sorting order: The category name in the current ui language. The problem with language is that it is the first thing a user will want to change if it is not its language (or a language they cannot read). We can expect that the user will interact with the category selector in a language they understand.

@mgautierfr Yes, so first we need tomtranslate the categories and then we need to sort them (like you said).
