The answer is surely to include interwiki-link
ordering as a parameter
that can be set for each wiki. That way, whatever order they're in at
the end of the article, they show up in the correct order in the
rendered page.
Surely someone can get that patch into acceptable
shape for the MediaWiki code?
(unless there's some problem with it that
isn't clear from the bug -
cc to wikitech-l)

Both major bot frameworks that may change the sort order of
interwikis, pywikipedia and AWB, have a highly customizable sorter that
follows
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_sort_order . If a
wiki is handled improperly, people should file a request to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93107 or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AWB/B
respectively instead of whinning about Teh Evil English Cabal.
