"All Languages" and "Default" should be listed at the top of list and should be
selected when Font and Color is selected
on Option dialog.
However, when these strings are localized, sort is not working properly, so
other item is selected by default. It's hard
to find such defaults items.

1. Tools > Options
2. select Fonts & Colors tag
  On Syntax tab, top of Language dropdown list should be "All Languages" and it
should be selected. but it's not when we
localize it.
3. Select "All Languages"
  "Default" should be listed on the top and selected by default on Category
list, but it's not when it's localized.
   (It seems that bug 71987 has not been fixed completely)

For "All Languages" issue, it seems that compare() of LanguagesComparator is
not correct.
I think we need to add the case when o2 == ColorModel.ALL_LANGUAGES.

For "Default" issue, in the following codes of
editor/options/src/org/netbeans/modules/options/colors/CategoryComparator.java,
it seems that name() is returning localized string. It should compare with
localized "Default", not english "default".

    public int compare (AttributeSet o1, AttributeSet o2) {
        String name_1 = name(o1);
        String name_2 = name(o2);
    if (name_1.startsWith ("default")) // NOI18N
        return name_2.startsWith ("default") ? 0 : -1; // NOI18N
        if (name_2.startsWith ("default")) // NOI18N
            return 1;
    return name_1.compareTo (name_2);
    }

    private static String name (AttributeSet o) {
        return ((String)
o.getAttribute(EditorStyleConstants.DisplayName)).toLowerCase();
    }
