The categorylinks tables will have to be rebuilt if this is to be deployed at the live sites. Not sure how expensive that will be.
Interested parties please visit the test site and provide comments either at the site or this list. If this seems to be a reasonable solution I will check it into cvs. Test site is running 1.4 from cvs.
One question that comes to my mind is how to define $wgCharOrder_en_cat. Obviously for proof of principle, you have only implemented A-Z and a-z. But isn't UTF8 quite large? Will wgCharOrder_en_cat need to include every possible character code? This could get quite cumbersome.
Barring that, the idea seems quite elegant.

I think each language will have a specific sorting order of it's own alphabet, which should be of manageable size. (Obviously not true for Chinese...) That should cover most of the articles of that specific wikipedia.
