I think I've alphabetized this word list correctly, but my friends keep telling me it's not in the right order. Can you help me spot the mistake?

The correct order is

Eden, divvy, dry, fear, pet, say, set, opt, knee, tea, elf, dues

because

each word is a homophone of a number in another language. The order above lists them numerically, from 1 to 12.


1, eden, Macedonian

2, dvi, Sanskrit

3, drei, German/Dutch

4, vier, German/Dutch (or fire, Danish)

5, pet, Croatian/Czech

6, sei, Italian

7, sept, French

8, opt, Romanian

9, ni, Norwegian (is also 2 in Japanese)

10, to, Norwegian/Danish

11, elf, German/Dutch

12, douze, French

You're supposed to order the words lexicographically based on the ASCII table. Also, the puzzle text specifies that there's a "the mistake", that is, one mistake.
