Locale aware sorting can be tricky, I'll have to look at that code
again. Sorting different keys and directions are trivial with
sorted(). I'm not sure what different "algorithms" mean, with sorted
you implement a function that returns a sorting key, that sorting key
is then used to sort. It should be possible to sort according to any
algorithm that way.
