Sorting by the number of articles in that language's Wikipedia might be a nice option. The articles in the more popular Wikipedia's might be more likely to be closer to "featured" status. I pursued a similar thing for categories. I have a script that sorts the articles in a category by their popularity according to the traffic statistics that I find to be a useful.

great, that works perfect! the sort order might be a little "unusual" so to say, as e.g. Bahasa Indonesia comes after english. i understand of course that the key, id, comes after en.
Did your Wikipedia use another sorting order before Wikidata? If so which one?
