Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

As mentioned at wikitech [1][2][3], it is possible to simplify sortkeys so that we have a workaround for Bug 164, at least for category ordering.

For portuguese, the order used is as in [4]:

[a á à â ã b c ç d e é ê f g h i í j k l m n o ó ò ô õ p q r s t u ú v w x y z]

So, the category sections for letters with diacritics could be grouped as in
a á à â ã --> a
c ç       --> c
e é ê     --> e
i í       --> i
o ó ò ô õ --> o
u ú       --> u

This way, in a category like "Matemática" (Mathematics) containing both "Aritmética" (Mathematics) and "Álgebra" (Algebra), both articles would be at the same section "A" by default (instead of having to define manually a sortkey at the article "Álgebra" with [[Categoria:Álgebra|Algebra]])
