--- Comment #6 from Quiddity <[email protected]> ---
The reasons behind [[WP:ORDER]] are:
1) We want "stub categories" to appear Last in the list of categories.
2) We want 2 blank lines preceding stub-templates, for whitespace. (Other ways
of achieving this are more complex, or don't work for articles with multiple
stub-templates.)
See example of both factors, at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Milo_McCarger&oldid=532917627


(To quote the [[WP:ORDER]] reference here, for ease of access: "While
categories are entered on the editing page ahead of stub templates, they appear
on the visual page in a separate box after the stub templates. One of the
reasons this happens is that every stub template generates a stub category, and
those stub categories appear after the "main" categories. Another is that
certain bots and scripts are set up to expect the cats, stubs and ILLs to
appear in that order, and will reposition them if they don't. Therefore, any
manual attempt to change the order is doomed unless the bots and scripts are
also altered.")
