We can display interwiki links ordered by language

uniform sorting: order by language names (latin names, then cyrillic,
then hieroglyph...) or order by language codes or have ahead a few
"major" languages.
And if this "MediaWiki:Interwikiorder" is empty then list will be
formed like now.
Will it be useful feature?
I always felt that the inter-wiki links should just be sorted by the
software in one pre-defined way. I find it highly unprofessional that
some Wikipedias use a different sorting than other Wikipedias. For
example, the Hungarian Wikipedia places (or placed, it's been some time)
the English link (if any) at the top and sorted the rest alphabetically.
I quite strongly disagree to such a scheme, but not knowing Hungarian, I
cannot participate in any discussion about it.
