it has stupid things like weekdays sorted alphabetically

Holy shit, that's stupid. Why would you even do this in the first place?! I can't comprehend how anyone could come to the conclusion that that's a good way to sort it.

alphabetically was probably the default sorting method for an array of data and they didn't bother to fix it, just my guess.

Then why not use labels?

Value="1Monday" Label="Monday"

That's even more work than skipping the "weekdays" array wherever the sorting happens
