The library that is used by the add-on makes a distinction between a set of “most-common languages”, and all other languages it supports. For technical reasons, this add-on initially supported just this restricted set of languages. When I added all the other ones (including PHP), I appended them to the list. So in fact this makes two alphabetical lists: a first one with the “most-common languages” (as presented by the library, I'm not actually trying to classify languages here), and a second one below, with all other languages.
I understand that this might be confusing. Maybe I will change it in the future. Ideally, I would like to implement an option to switch between the complete list of languages, or just the restricted subset. One advantage would be that auto-detection goes much faster when the library is compiled for fewer languages…
Anyway, thanks again!
