I really have no idea. It seems likely. However it's bit weird of a dialog
picking a certain sorting rule indirectly based on locale. As if each locale
having separate set of specific rules. Next to the fact that I have any
feedback what the actual entail (black box). Not in the dialog nor in the
documentation

I get the impression that selecting a locale defines enables a additional rule:
* Dutch -> No additional sorting rule
* Zulu (and many other languages)->  Enabled the Alphanumeric 'option' at least
the disabled option drop down suggests this
* Japanese -> lets the user pick one of the possible rules 

But again your interpretation is as valid. So picking locale might affect:
decimal separator, the digit group separator

[Haven't toyed around to try it out]
