I recognize that.
MediaWiki sort backlinks of template by pageid and category's pages by sortkey.
These are not sorted by Unicode.
But, "after" parameter compare Unicode of these page's titles.

there was a bug in sorting pages in categories in mediawiki (in non-latin languages like Persian and Arabic) It's solved now. and there is no way to sort pages by their page ids in pagegenrator.py and doesn't make sense to implement a heavy script to do that
