Description

The order of links to sister projects added by the "other projects side bar" beta feature is not consistent accross articles.

Example: if you enable the beta feature, the link to Wikidata appears

For consistency, these links should always be in the same order (for instance in alphabetical order of the project code).

Lydia_Pintscher set Security to None.

"for instance in alphabetical order of the project code" -> it would be inconsistent between language versions of the same project.

Example: link to Wikisource (enwikisource) will be before link to Wikidata (wikidatawiki) on English Wikipedia but after on Chinese Wikipedia.

We should maybe sort with group names (that are the same between all language versions).
