SUMMARY



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Tokodon
2. create new message 
3. select a different language than default

OBSERVED RESULT

- the order of the languages seems arbitrary (why is English called “American English” and listed close to the bottom, neither E nor A are at the end of the alphabet)
- there is no way to search/filter for languages, making the user to carefully scroll through the whole list to spot the desired language

EXPECTED RESULT

- sort languages by alphabet (in either their native tongue or in the default language of KDE/Tokodon)
- enable search/filter of languages, so the user can simply find english by typing the (first) letters of it

I can confirm that this is still an issue with tokodon 24.12.2 and that I would also want to see implemented a solution like the proposed one (search and alphabetical sorting)
