Fixing the sort order of the SignWriting symbols in Unicode 8

[Stephen E Slevinski Jr]

Hi Unicode list,

I am concerned that the SignWriting symbols as defined in Unicode 8 do 
not sort properly.  Making "_fill 1_" and "_rotation 1_" inherent values 
causes sorting problems.

Without inherent values for "_fill 1_" and "_rotation 1_", the symbols 
sort properly.  Consider these symbols in the correct sort order.

symbol - fill 1 - rotation 1
symbol - fill 1 - rotation 2
symbol - fill 2 - rotation 1
symbol - fill 2 - rotation 2


When "_fill 1_" and "_rotation 1_" are inherent, the symbols above have 
shorter names that sort incorrectly.

symbol
symbol - rotation 2
symbol - fill 2
symbol - fill 2 - rotation 2

With the above list, "*symbol - fill 2*" will sort before "*symbol - 
rotation 2*".  This is incorrect.

I believe it would fix sorting by setting the weights in the "DUCET" 
table so that rotations sort before fills.  If this addition was made, 
the SignWriting symbols in Unicode 8 should sort properly.

Regards,
∼Steve
