Initial Comment: Pywikipedia [http] trunk/pywikipedia (r6943, Jun 07 2009, 12:46:54) Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]

It seems there is a wrong interwiki sorting on af-wiki. The sorting is done by language code but it should done by language name. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xqt#Your_edits_on_the_Afrikaans_Wikip...] for the report and [http://af.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=473971&oldid=473782] for an example.

Message: Hello.

According to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interwiki_sorting_order this behavior is correct: the default sort order is used for af.

If the afrikaans wikipedia wants to change their sort order, I am fine with it, but they need to _first_ edit the meta page (linking to a local wikipedia page which shows consensus) and then ask here for the change. If we don't follow this process, then pywikipedia bots will use one sort order, phpwikipedia bots will use another sort order, etc.... and it's not going to look pretty.
