One of the demo collections originally shown in pivot was wikipedia article's sorted by category. Though the collections are no longer up, you can see videos at:

I don't think such a thing can be done in an efficient manner for big categories given the way category membership is currently stored. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
