I rewrote the LC_COLLATE section to contain only the absolutely
necessary stuff. Now it looks like this:

   LC_COLLATE
   % The Kurdish Sorani, Bahdini, and others dialects is mainly written using a modified (Arabic-based alphabet) with 33 letters. 
   % Unlike the regular Arabic alphabet, which is an abjad, kurdish is an alphabet in which vowels are mandatory, making the script easy to read.
   %
   % The kurdish alphabet order is:
   % in Latin: a, b, c, ç, d, e, ê, f, g, h, i, î, j, k, l, ll, m, n, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, u, uu, v, w, x, y, z
   % vowels: A, E, I, O, U, UU
   %
   
   % Copy the template from ISO/IEC 14651
   copy "iso14651_t1"
   
   reorder-after <S0631> % ر
   <S0695> % ڕ
   
   reorder-after <S0646> % ن
   <S0648> % و
   <S06C6> % ۆ
   
   END LC_COLLATE

I.e. this sorts U+0695, U+0648, and U+06C6 differently from the default
sort order.

The default sort order comes from

    copy "iso14651_t1"

You use this line to copy the default sort order and then add changes
needed for your language.

According to what you wrote in your locale, the 3 characters U+0695, U+0648, and U+06C6 sort
differently than the default sort order for Arabic characters, all the reset sort the same
as in the default sort order.

Title:
  Request for new language packages for Kurdish Sorani (ckb)

Status in GLibC:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Kurdish Sorani (ckb) team has made some progress in translating
  packages for Ubuntu in Launchpad. Now they are wondering what is
  necessary to get language packs in that language for Ubuntu.

  Is there any chance of this happening in Intrepid, or what has to be
  done to get packages in Intrepid +1?

  Here is a link to the page in Launchpad:
  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+lang/ckb

  By the way, Kurdish Sorani (ckb) is a Right-to-Left script language
  like Arabic.
