Add sort key to entries in Special:Specialpages
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The order of the entries in Special:Specialpages
is a complete mess, since they are ordered by a
(useless) default sort order matching no languages
sort order in the world.

(-: While treating each community equally bad may be just, :-)

it would be better to attach a sort key to individual
special page names, like the ones used with [[category:...|key]]
statements inside normal pages.

I see there is a http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSortSpecialPages one can toggle off,
but it probably won't help much here if they are not in a logical order in the first place.
