New module for sorting texts in Inuktitut

We developed a FileMaker plug-in for a client's database project. It allows for sorting words according to the Inuktitut syllabarium. Roman alphabet is ordered as "a/b/c/d", whereas the Inuktitut syllabarium is ordered as "ai/i/u/a/pai/pi/pu/pa...".
In order to provide a faithful and useful list of words (lexicon, dictionary, thesaurus...) it is crucial that the traditional sort order of the language be respected.
Technically, we developed this plug-in in C. It runs on both PC and Mac, and provides the same programming interface on both platforms, allowing for portable databases and applications.
