To clarify, here's the information that's available when sorting a category membership list: * category name (fixed, since we're looking at a particular category) * sort key (normally the page title, unless you overrode it) * page ID (roughly corresponds to page creation time) The page title can only be applied to the sorting if it's actually *in* the sort key. If you've overridden it, then *only* the sort key you provided will have any relevance in ordering; page ID will serve as a 'tiebreaker' but isn't really predictable. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
