I'll do that tomorrow (if I manage to remember). My guess is that
"ordered dictionary" is as descriptive to them as "odict" or "blonzo"
(well, perhaps they do recognize the "dictionary" part of it, and
manage not to confuse it with "directory"). As for the "ordered"
part, my guess is that most people will suggest that it means "sorted"
(native speakers or not).

Regards,
Martin
