Also, I think it would be impractical to show the list of languages alphabetically sorted. Rather, we should sort it by size.
I don't think so. If the list is as large as e.g. the [[source:Main Page]], then maybe. But the list should IMHO not be so big. In either case, searching in a sorted list is considerable faster than searching in an unordered list. And it would be an unordered list for me, as I don't remember the statistics. (Note: I don't really care much about it, I would not use the portal at all, I know where to look for those languages I want.)
That's just my 0.02 CZK (which is really not much ;-) ).
