Category:Braille script characters

Please suggest a suitable sorting method. I have four ideas currently:

1. Put all to * while sorting by their Unicode. This will make all the 6-dots to the front.
   • An example would be [[Category:Braille script characters|*U+283F]] for ⠿.
2. Put them according to the 12345678 order in Appendix:Unicode/Braille Patterns. That will make 1 crowded, though.
   • An example would be [[Category:Braille script characters|123456]] for ⠿.
3. Sort them by the number of dots present, then by their Unicode. I personally prefer this idea.
   • An example would be [[Category:Braille script characters|6-U+283F]] for ⠿.
4. Sort them by the number of dots present, then according to the 12345678 order in Appendix:Unicode/Braille Patterns.
   • An example would be [[Category:Braille script characters|6-123456]] for ⠿.
5. I am open to any other suggestions.

• Support Option 3 ("Sort them by the number of dots present, then by their Unicode."), the same you said you prefer.
• Oppose Options 1, 2 and 4, all of them I find a bit harder to read and find the right character.

Went ahead and sorted it. Looks much better now. --Daniel 10:25, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
