Bug ID: 70669
Summary: Double-entry categorization would be helpful

The inherent conflict between strict lexicographic sort keys and analogical or
bibliotechnical sort keys leads to recurrent debates on the wiktionary projects
(and possibly others). The ability to specify a different sort key for each
category helps, but there are remaining instances where the most helpful
solution would be for the MediaWiki software to offer some means of inserting
any given page in two (or more) places in a category. Maybe through a magic
word such as DEFAULTSORT2. This could be extended to all categories by allowing
each category to accept multiple piped parameters (e.g.
[[Category:Some category name|first sort key|second sort
key]]).
To give just one specific example out of many, on the French Wiktionary a page
like ''Le Caire'' (i.e. Cairo) would benefit from appearing in the category
''Noms propres en français'' (translation: Proper nouns in French) twice, once
under C and once under L.
