While we definitly need efficient retrieval by namespace, the default sort key should *not* include the namespace prefix. it's very annoying that all files get sorted under "F" currently, or that pages from the Wikipedia namespace all end up under "W".
That's totally orthogonal and is like a one-line change. Probably you just have to change getPrefixedDBkey() to getDBkey() somewhere.

Because there are multiple languages on each page - so you need lots of different sort keys.
Could you point me to an example of some pages and categories where this is an issue? I'm not clear on how categories/pages/sort keys are being used here.
If it's sorted as starting with "a" it should appear under "a". The alternative would be to have different explicit sorting for the sections in the category than for the words in the section, which I think is unnecessary.
So if we have three pages "Áa", "Ab", "Ác" and they're sorted in the category in that order, should they be in one section? I don't see how you'd put them in two or three sections. If they're in one section, what letter do you use for it, "Á" or "A"? We can figure out "A" is correct here, but how do you do that in general automatically?
