    I've seen plenty of multi script indexes and almost all of them had
    seperate divisions for each script.

    There are multi-platform database engines which are straightforwad to
    "tailor" using UCA (e.g Mimer SQL <http://www.mimer.com/> - which
    someone mentioned earlier), and Open Source software rountines based
    on the UCA (e.g. ICU's rule based collator
    <http://pistos.pe.kr/javadocs/etc/icu4j2_4/j2h/com/ibm/icu/text/RuleBasedCollator.java.html>
    ).
    So, if a scholarly community needs interleaved ordering, it should not
    be too hard to for someone amongst them to implement
    and share with their colleauges.
