At least in Japanese, there is little agreement about the radicals, and
different dictionaries often have different opinions about which radical
is the right one, resulting in quite different sorting in different
dictionaries.
For examples, older editions of the Japanese "Nelson" kanji dictionary
state that the radical for "和" is the left part, while the newer
edition thinks that the right part is the radical.
