I can't answer all of your questions, but on 2 of them I'll do my best.
First of all, you mention Shoebox. In order to do unicode stuff you'll
have to upgrade to Toolbox, the successor to Shoebox. The program runs
much in the same way as Shoebox, but has important features that allow
you to use Unicode characters.<br>
It is possible to view and sort from the end of words in Toolbox. Go to
Database > Sorting and select the checkbox 'Sort first field from
end'. Alternately, you can also use your mouse to sort from the end by
doing ctrl+ left mouse click on a column header in browse view.<br>
I haven't tried working with non-alphabetic scripts so I won't comment
on that. Others on the list might have experience with that.<br>
Toolbox does not import .xls files directly. Toolbox files are
textfiles where every field begins on a new line and has a special
marker. Probably the easiest way to export an xls file to Toolbox
format is to add an empty column before every column of data in Excel
and then type in the code Toolbox needs in front of that column and
then 'fill down' to add that code to all the cells which contain data.
Then save as plain text or .csv format. Then use a text editor to
search and replace all the tabs with spaces and then another search and
replace all '\' with a new line and '\' so that each '\' begins on its
own new line.<br>
If the above is too confusing, you can contact me offline and I'll be
more explicit.<br>

<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to know a couple of things about Shoebox:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. is it possible to view, sort and do what I want to the
lexemes according to an inverse order, that means, like a book of
rhymes, from the last letter to the first? Is it possible also working
with non-alphabetic languages like Chinese? That would be quite
interesting for studying morphological roots and quasi-suffixes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. is it possible to import data from .xls files or should I try
to transform them into some other type of file?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you</div>
<div> </div>
