Why Uyghur needs its own sort order
Computers normally sort text by Unicode code point, which has nothing to do with the order of the Uyghur alphabet. A plain A–Z sort of Arabic-script Uyghur words scrambles them: letters that follow each other in a Uyghur dictionary end up far apart. This tool sorts by the real Uyghur alphabetical order (ئېلىپبە تەرتىپى), so word lists, glossaries and name lists come out in the order a Uyghur reader expects.
