Is there any easy solution to this problem?

No, not really. At the moment, what happens is this: first, all interwiki
links are removed from the page. Then, they are added to the bottom of the
page.

This is - in general - a hard problem to work with. For instance, how
should a page like

"blah text [[en:interwiki]] blah blah

[[fr:interwiki]]
[[nl:interwiki]]

[[category:cat]]"

be adapted? And how should a page like

"blah text

[[fr:interwiki]]

[[category:cat]]

[[nl:interwiki]]"

be adapted?


Changing the output to a different, but well-defined order is not that
hard. Determining the correct order is.

In this case, there are two options: thinking up some heuristic and
implementing it, or doing some politics ('hey, if you don't *want*
interwikis....').

If you want to work on the heuristic, the replaceLanguageLinks function in
pywikibot/textlib.py is where you'd want to start.

Good luck (with either method ;-))!
