Sort order for listing languages in setup / settings

Two projects in a row where I need a list of languages available on
the device, either for setup or settings. Possible options:

Alphabetically, by native language name.
But where do non-phoenician alphabet languages go in that list? Sub
in their English language (so Chinese is written in Chinese, but
placed in the list as if it was "Chinese")?

By likelihood of use. Seems somewhat arbitrary, and the least
apparent to the user.

Product "training" and orientation: anythingsurprising/interesting?

Hey! Is *that* what Twitter is about? ;)

Common Craft creates some great explanatory videos. Here's one

Websites that remember you

I've hunted through Pattern Tap and Konigi and am struggling to find
interface examples when websites 'remember' you.

We're looking at developing a tiered remembrance:

1. Unknown - the site knows nothing about you, you see the default
environment.
2. Remembered - you've been to the site before, but you're not registered or
logged-in, we just know what you've looked at.
3. Known - you're logged-in and we know lots about you and your history with
us.

Can anyone think of examples that demonstrate tier 2?
