Description

Options picked up through the document class are processed in the order the option was defined instead of the listed order.

The example lists options in the order french, german, english, spanish but the dialect list is in the order: english, french, german, spanish.

Evaluation

This is the behaviour of the unstarred \ProcessOptions. I need to the starred form instead. I will get it fixed.

Update: fixed in v1.6.7

It’s the order in which the tracklang package options are defined which happens to be in alphabetical order.
