I'd like to create a dictionary list, probably in calc in the first 
instance with words and synonyms, and be able to sort either on the 
English column or on the 'other language' column. Is this sort of 
thing going to be possible?

I *think* you can.

o Create your character list in a spreadsheet row or column.
o Select the range.
o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Calc | Sort Lists. Note that 
"Copy list from" is already populated.
o Click Copy to create the new list.

When sorting, on the Options tab of the Sort dialogue, click "Custom 
sort order" and select your new sort order from the drop-down menu.

I trust this helps.
