Got it. Thanks. The files are really useful. It has 12445 characters with pinyin and zhuyin, and radical. Too bad some are jpg files and don't display.

@joehua , most, if not all, jpg files are variants. the remaining characters should be enough for most purposes, imo

I'm looking for a list of traditional Chinese sorted/grouped by number of strokes.

I have found some lists which contain around 500 characters. I'd like to have more, at least 2,000. Also, some lists are obviously a simple conversion from lists of simplified Chinese. Hence, the number of strokes are incorrect.

This is for sorting purpose. I found that Chinese version of Excel can sort by number of strokes. Unfortunately, I don't have it.
