I agree that it should default to a user-configured language.

I'm less sure about the sorting. We do sort the list of interface languages because there are so many, but neither we nor Nintendo sort the list of languages that can be set in the GameCube/Wii settings. I suppose there's not really any reason UX-wise to not have it sorted, but we would have to keep in mind that it should be sorted correctly no matter which language Dolphin runs in, and that's not trivial...

I think the only purpose of the "Show Language" dropdown menu in the game properties window is to show the user what a given game's name is in other languages, given that it doesn't save the selection or translate the name in the game list?

That's correct.

Not sure how it belongs under Banner Details in the first place...

That's mostly a result of how it's implemented behind the scenes.

I took a look at what it would take logic-wise to default to the interface language and it's hardly worth it.
Even though it's possible it simply doesn't justify the effort one would have to put in.
