It seems to me that it will be necessary to have the possibility to customize
the algorithm.

On [[wikibooks:it]] we have "a/b/c/d" sorted as "d". E.g.,
[[it:b:Category:Debian]] has:
* [[it:b:Debian/Ottenere Debian/Distribuzione]] sorted as "Distribuzione"
* [[it:b:Debian/Ottenere Debian/Supporti]] sorted as "Supporti"
Similarly for [[b:it:Category:Assembly]]

On [[wikibooks:es]], we have "a/b/c/d" sorted as "b/d", since
[[es:b:Template:+ÍndiceSección]] uses
{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|2}}/{{SUBPAGENAME}} to define the sortkey
So, e.g., [[es:b:Category:Ajedrez]] has [[es:b:Ajedrez/Información/Historia]]
sorted as "Historia".

On English [[wikibooks:]], we have "a/b/c/d" sorted as "b/c/d", since some
pages use:
[ [Category:{{FULLBOOKNAME}}|{{FULLCHAPTERNAME}}] ]
and most others use {{BookCat}} which defines the sorkey as
{{#titleparts:{{FULLPAGENAME}}||2}} (which is the same as {{FULLCHAPTERNAME}})
See e.g. [[b:Category:Organic Chemistry]] and [[b:Category:Cell Biology]].
On the other hand, pages from other namespace (like "Category" and "Template")
have different sortkeys:
http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Template:BookCat&action=edit

Portuguese Wikiboks also sorts "a/b/c/d" as "b/c/d" through
[[b:pt:Template:AutoCat]], where it is used
{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}||2}}
by default.

For the record, the new feature would greatly benefit editors of small
projects, where there may be no bots to help in the categorization. A category
like [[es:b:Category:Física]], whose pages are mostly under "F" because they
were manually categorized by means of a simple [ [Category:Física] ], would be
a lot more organized by default. Analogously for [[es:b:Category:Español]].
