Is there an order we should use for the locales in the OTHERS variable and elsewhere (first come first serve or alphabetical)?

No, it makes no difference. Other than readability (q.v. diff), does anyone have a good reason we should rewrite them one-per-line, e.g.:
OTHERS = xx \ yy \ zz
...? Frankly, the line's just not that complicated, so it's probably not worth doing.

OK. Just wondering where I should use alphabetical order and where not, since just sticking to alphabetical probably increases overall maintainability.
Of course the 5 one-liner locales in the Makefile probably isn't an issue. Just wanted to make sure what to use for other stuff as well (people's names, full language names in website, etc).

Yeah, I always tried to do that (and others) alphabetically.

Generally by alpha, unless there is a specific reason no to. For example:
