I very much understand that I can't get French and German and Swedish
sort order at the same time, to this makes a lot of sense for Latin.

However, I assume that the main language written in Tamil script is the
Tamil language. So I would very much assume that the base ordering for
the Tamil script should be so that it works out of the box for the Tamil
language, without any tailoring.

If I got something wrong, please tell me.

Regards, Martin.
