Provided that these are all cryllic characters of same case [wiktionary with lowercase letters as first char of title may be different], Я (U+042F) should come last on the special page.

(If it were not for the code points coming so that Я is last, I'd say this depends on bug 30672. Might still depend on it if i misunderstand the bug)

Sorry, I think them sorted by created date, not by alphabet.

It works equally for all language. sorry i mistake.

It really shouldn't be. On trunk at least its sorted alphabetically (by unicode code point if we want to be technical).

However, I think its sorting in reverse alphabetical order for some reason (Which seems weird and wrong...)

Fixed in r97151 (MediaWiki 1.19)

Merged back to REL1_17 r97197 & REL1_18 r97198

Should be released in mw 1.17.1 and 1.18.0
