Potlatch, yes.. I changed it.

The language list (that's what i think you're talking about) is already 
sorted by the code of the language. I changed this to sorting by name 
but it still got problems with lowercase-names, but i think it's ok for 
the moment.

That's why the wiki (en) button is there. I'll check if i could make an 
automatic process aut of this (go to en-wiki & change language in on click).
