I guess they also sort loan words starting with “ng” with “n” (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_ngultrum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_ngultrum)
Sorting also is context-dependent. https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Introduction https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Introduction: “even within the same language, dictionaries may sort differently than phonebooks or book indices”
Weird example (https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Contextual_Sensitivity https://unicode.org/reports/tr10/#Contextual_Sensitivity): “Normally, all differences in sorting are assessed from the start to the end of the string. If all of the base letters are the same, the first accent difference determines the final order. %[…] In some French dictionary ordering traditions, however, it is the last accent difference that determines the order”
