An interesting idea, but I think it is a bit too niche to be included in the 
coreutils “sort” program (tradeoff of usefulness vs bloat).

However, such functionality is very suitable to an old idea of an auxiliary 
“decorate” program that will allow many more sorting options when used in 
tandem with “sort”.

I’ve started writing such program some time ago, based on  Pádraig's idea 
(never completed, but perhaps these days are perfect opportunity to complete 
it):

Would you like to try your hand at coding the sorting rules for such 
Hebrew-numerals sort?
