Nowadays, the glossary is kept in alphabetical order manually. Here we have two problems:

• Eventually, the entry order is wrong ( Glossary: locale order )
• The alphabetical order is kept just in English.

I propose using Sphinx :sorted: option. The glossary will always be ordered in all languages. The two problems above will be solved.

Collateral effects:

• The two first current entry will change (>>> … → … >>>)
• Dunder entries will appear before the letter a.

I think the benefits are bigger than the collateral effects. Besides, it is so easy to implement.
