Bug Description

In Unity-2D dash, if you click on "More applications" and "Filter results" then, the application categories are sorted the wrong way if you are using a language other than english. Eventhough the entrys are translated, they are still sorted according to their english names (with Accessoires first, System last, in German for example "Büro" (=Office) should be first, and "Zubehör" (=Acessoires) should be last).
You can see the problem at the attached screenhot.

Kind regards,
Jan

Mikkel: it's worth speaking to Rosie about this. Xi made a very good point that people using translated/untranslated interfaces are still able to navigate on the basis of predictable spatial locations (ie. third item on the right) even when the interface language doesn't match.
