           Summary: Simplify default sortkey for portuguese (better
                    collation support for categories)
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal

As mentioned at wikitech [1][2][3], it is possible to simplify sortkeys so that
we have a workaround for Bug 164, at least for category ordering.

For portuguese, the order used is as in [4]:

[a á à â ã b c ç d e é ê f g h i í j k l m n o ó ò ô õ p q r s t u ú v w x y z]

So, the category sections for letters with diacritics could be grouped as in
a á à â ã --> a
c ç       --> c
e é ê     --> e
i í       --> i
o ó ò ô õ --> o
u ú       --> u

This way, in a category like "Matemática" (Mathematics) containing both
"Aritmética" (Mathematics) and "Álgebra" (Algebra), both articles would be at
the same section "A" by default (instead of having to define manually a sortkey
at the article "Álgebra" with [[Categoria:Álgebra|Algebra]])
