Categories currently sort uppercase letters before lowercase.
This is probably not helpful for anybody.
It was already a problem on en.wiktionary before title
capitalisation was disabled. It's worse now that capitalisation
has been turned on.

Since nobody has commented on the capitalisation issue at all here or under Bug
164 which this bug was incorrectly closed as a duplicate of, I am now re-opening
this bug as it is clearly a separate issue soluble without any of the issues
brought up on Bug 164.

This bug *is* effectively identical to bug 164 in terms of implementation. Any
locale-specific sorting order will take account of case-sensitivity issues. The
crux of 164 is to use something other than a binary sort on the names; the fact
that it asks for different sorting algorithms per locality isn't the difficult
part of its implementation.
