Follow-up for T60032: a maintenance script for populating pp_sortkey. This will be sloppy, because when reading pp_value from the database, we don't know the original type - the value will always be a string.
We should also double-check if there is not already something similar.

I am new here and was wondering if I could contribute to resolve this bug.
What I understood from the conversation was to create a script that populates pp_sortkey column of page_props table.
Please tell what exactly should the script do ?

@Aklapper Yes , I have understood that we have to make a script that populates pp_sortkey column by taking values from pp_value.
What I would like to know -
- Wouldn't we require credentials like dbname and dbpass to connect to the database ?
- As the task is assigned, can I still work on this issue ?
