Problem

The greek/hebrew letters are currently sorted by their latex name (alpha, beta, chi, delta, etc.); they should be sorted in standard greek/hebrew alphabetical order instead (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, etc.). The variants (varepsilon, varkappa, etc.) can come either right after the corresponding letter (varepsilon after epsilon) or all together at the end.
Digamma can come between epsilon and zeta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma), or go to the end as well.
Also, nabla is not a greek letter (it can probably go in "misc. symbols" next to "partial").
