Category sort of nnwiki is wrong
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Category sort for nnwiki should be the same as nowiki, and follow the Norwegian sort order. In particular the present sorting of w:nn:Kategori:Norske forfattarar follows Å, Ø, Æ, but should be Æ, Ø, Å. The configuration should probably be similar to the one used for nowiki.

Task left open pending the completion of the maintenance script being run by @awight and verification by @jeblad that the categories are now sorted correctly. Note that it may require purging the category page before seeing results.

The updateCollation.php script completed:

Thank you from an nn: contributor. I've checked a few categories, and the sorting is correct now.
