sorting things on the php side like that article suggests also is probably not
going to happen.


----

It looks like the code points for letters that appear in fa but not in ar have
code points a bit higher then the letters that are in ar (thus binary sorting
by code point gives bad results).

In my testing, using the uca-default collation instead of the standard
uppercase collation should fix this. (I only tested that پ (U+67E) and ت
(U+62A) are sorted correctly relative to each other, but since it fixes those
two, I'm assuming the others are fixed too. If not we could probably write a
custom collation fairly easily).

So basically, we need to enable uca-default on wikimedia to fix this, or at
least fix on the categories.

Special page reports probably won't be fixed anytime soon unfortunately (Is
there another bug for that?). pagegenerator.py probably is just using
special:allpages, which probably won't be fixed in near future, but possibly
the pywikipedia folks could sort the list on the client side.
