Usually, DEFAULTSORT contents need only a little re-arranging or capitalization changes. If the name is long or unfamiliar, it may be difficult to type it to make these relatively minor changes. It would be nice to pre-fill the box with the page title. But if VisualEditor simply fills in the box whenever you open the Page settings menu, then we'll get a lot of errors (because people won't notice that it needs to be updated). Possible solution: Add a button next to the DEFAULTSORT item to insert the current page title as text that the editor can then change as needed.
This is the same as bug 50002 (and needs a huge amount of design thought). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 50002 ***
