[[Category:MyCategory|DisplayThisInstead]]Is rendered as Categories: MyCategory instead of Categories: DisplayThisInstead
i.e. the syntax is the same as piped link but is in fact a category sort key.
It'd be more consistent to use [[Category:MyCategory|DisplayThisInstead|MySortKey]]
Off the top of my head, and after only a few sips of coffee this morning, I think that it would be more consistent to use:
[[Category:MyCategory|MySortKey|DisplayThisInstead]]
which would be consistent with the way pipes are used to parameterize Image links e.g. [[Image:MyImage|thumb|Cool caption]]
It would also have the benefit of not breaking existing pages which don't use this new syntax.
On the other hand allowing alternate presentations of category links raises some consistency issues that might make it inadvisable.
