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.
