I miss this feature too. But I know situations where it sholdn't work by
itself!

It may make sense to have different orders in the different languages.

e.g. having an alphabetic-order (by hand) which is another after
translation.
or an order for importance which is another in another country.

I wish to have a button to reorder the translated records acording to the
records of the masterlanguage. But I want to decide by myself wether and
when I will use it.

I also wish to see all orphaned records (records which are not in
default-language  and have no master-record) in 'Localization view'.
And third: I wish to chain orphaned records together with just a click. (its
hideous to use phpmyadmin for this ;-) )

Workaround:
Switch of the 'Localization view' and order all records as you wish
(espacially the translated records just behind their master). You are done,
if no record jumps around on switching 'Localization view' on and off.
