What about cases where there is no English Link or Label? I've been adding English labels to tons of items, but not links as there are none. I'm a bit tied up right now, else I'd create stub articles in English.
It's ok to have items with no link to an article on English Wikipedia. It's no problem. In this particular case it'll just not be displayed on the Hungarian Wikipedia.
There should of course be a default setting for all those not having an account. And the default setting should not be "sort by size(article)" because this depends on the article and will be different for each article. Users might be confused by this.
"sort by articlecount (WP_Project)" is also not what is very useful because e.g. German is not that important and it is confusing. English, yes, is an exception, because most Wikipedia-consumers know that the should look on enwiki if they cannot find this article in their language.
However, I would offer an additional separate list with the "may preferred languages". On quwiki (Quetchua, a native American language in South America) this might be "EspaƱol" and then "English" as default.
The user settings could be totally different. Many people would prefer those languages they know.
But I'd like to have to different link list. One coming from the settings an one coming from the alphabetic order es it is currently on enwikipedia. So, in most cases enwiki will be there twice, which would decrease confusion.
