Interested parties please visit the test site and provide comments
either at the site or this list. If this seems to be a reasonable
solution I will check it into cvs. Test site is running 1.4 from cvs.
One question that comes to my mind is how to define
$wgCharOrder_en_cat. Obviously for proof of principle, you have only
implemented A-Z and a-z. But isn't UTF8 quite large? Will
wgCharOrder_en_cat need to include every possible character code? This
could get quite cumbersome.
Barring that, the idea seems quite elegant.

I think each language will have a specific sorting order of it's own
alphabet, which should be of manageable size. (Obviously not true for
Chinese...) That should cover most of the articles of that specific
wikipedia.
