Sorting Order: Shorter Length First

I. Description:
A base form has shorter length should be on the top of the sorting order.

II. Example
Hemosporidium is chosen over Haemosporidium as the citation form because its length is shorter. Two other examples with new citation forms with shorter length are shown in the following table:

{base=Haemosporidium
spelling_variant=Hemosporidium
entry=E0002981
	cat=noun
	variants=glreg
}

{base=Hemosporidium
spelling_variant=Haemosporidium
entry=E0002981
	cat=noun
	variants=glreg
}

{base=Ames test
spelling_variant=Amestest
entry=E0000355
	cat=noun
	variants=sing
}

{base=Amestest
spelling_variant=Ames test
entry=E0000355
	cat=noun
	variants=sing
}

{base=abscess
spelling_variant=abcess
entry=E0006577
	cat=noun
	variants=reg
	variants=uncount
}

{base=abcess
spelling_variant=abscess
entry=E0006577
	cat=noun
	variants=reg
	variants=uncount
}

III. Impacts (on Norm)
Results of NLP programs use citation forms might change accordingly and results in shorter base form (new citation form). For examples, using above LexRecords, the result of Norm (which uses -f:Ct) is changed accordingly between 2013- and 2014+ releases:

• Input: Hemosporidium or Haemosporidium
• Results (2013-): haemosporidium
• Results (2014+): hemosporidium

• Input: Amestest
• Results (2013-): ames test
• Results (2014+): amestest

• Input: abcess or abscess
• Results (2013-): abscess
• Results (2014+): abcess
