I agree -- sorting by the Unicode character names is better here, I
think.
The command is for inserting characters you don't use constantly
(because if you did, you'd use a different input method that made those
characters more readily available), which means that you probably aren't
super-familiar with them. So you'd be looking at the (English)
descriptions of the characters to find the one you want.
