Fix sorting not stable issue

This description makes it sound like sorting was really broken. Let me assure casual readers that it was not, this is just a very minor issue with certain circumstances behind it.

@donho It seems as some translated text is ignored in 8.4.9 RC: f.e. “contextMenu-styleAlloccurrencesOfToken”, “contextMenu-styleOneToken” & “contextMenu-clearStyle”

When you rightclick a text some translations (even they exist correctly in the corresponding language file) are not working.
