There are no other Greek letters in the IPA.
However, I fail to see that this makes the slightest difference to
the sorting issue, because IPA doesn't define any sorting order
whatever! It is also not clear to me that IPA is "quintessentially
Latin"; rather, it is "quintessentially glyphic" and very
intolerant of typical Latin-script concepts like case, variable
"a" glyphs, and variable "g" glyphs. (Only the last point is
officially recognized by Unicode.)
