Still announcing the proposal on some kind of Village Pump on that wiki and
asking for potential feedback would be highly welcome. :)

I made the announcement here [http://ilo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dap-ayan/Teknikal#Urnos_ti_interwiki]

Additional info:

Ilokano Wikipedia uses this modern Ilokano ortography as a policy:
http://ilo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Annuroten_iti_gramatika_ken_panangiletra

Which is based on Filipino alphabet:

Comparison of current order of interwiki links fron ilowiki and enwiki

Default interwiki link order from ilowiki Wikipedia:
http://ilo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maikadua_a_Sangalubongan_a_Gubat

Alphabetic interwiki link order from enwiki Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II

We used to be able to organised interwiki links locally:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_sorting_order

I tried it locally, but not possible anymore:
http://ilo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Interwiki_config-sorting_order&oldid=179374

Major Wikipedias have organised the order of their interwiki links via wmgWikibaseClientSettings since the intruduction of Wikidata, line 12266 of InitialiseSettings.php:
http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php

I have made the proposal to change the order locally since March 2013 as requested but with no active community, they were no responses.
http://ilo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dap-ayan/Teknikal#Urnos_ti_interwiki

There are no properly active users on ilowiki (other than Lam-ang) who could form a consensus, and no-one has objected to the proposal announcement on the wiki, so this should happen.
