It would be sensible for modules to be grouped by language using the language names looked up from the langage code with reference to the entries in the file locales.d

I wonder why that method isn’t already used by the Bishop app ?

Aside: When PocketSword is next updated, it ought to be compiled with the very latest version of locales.d so that languages not currently named in this way are shown properly.

There may still be a need for other front-ends to catch up with the latest version thereof.

The fact that the languages are NOT in alphabetical order is not helpful. They are actually ordered by module name, so Tandroy would be listed as module name "tdx2023eb", which is only useful if you remember the ethnologue code for the language. All eBible.org modules start with the ethnologue language code, but this is not the case for all repositories.
