Oh, then sorting order of sections would need own option.  Currently
sections are sorted by section names (i.e. mostly by script names
alphabetically, e.g. "adlam", "aegean-number", "ahom", etc.),
but a new option could sort them by their boundary codepoints
(i.e. "basic-latin", "latin-supplement", "latin-extended"),
so now options are going out of control :)
