The old DPL (For some reason called Intersection) is only installed on Meta and Wikinews. The actual Wikimedia wiki such as Wikipedia don't even have it installed.
Indeed.
But we have the old DPL installed on Wikibooks-NL as well and there are probably several other Wikimedia wikis as well. My wish to install the new DPL on Wikibooks, was turned down, alas, as this is not in the Wikimedia repository and the old one is (if I remember this correctly). I still hope I can some day make a patch (which is difficult if you have zero experience with PHP) to have at least a sorting in alphabetical order possible for the old DPL. More simple would be to install the new DPL.
This is still something I would like to find out if this is possible: is there a possibility to have an overview of installed extensions on all different Wikimedia projects? For instance: how can I found out on which projects DPL is installed and on which projects Extension:Quiz, without have the look at all Special:Version pages.

The old DPL doesn't have an option for alphabetical sorting, and it
never will because the new DPL was created for the purpose of giving those extra features.
The old DPL is only used on those Wikimedia projects because they have need of some DPL functions, but have no real need for anything special.
However, the newer DPL is installed on Wikia. DPL is common use on Wikia, not Wikimedia where it isn't under any common use aside from a few wiki which have restricted use of it. Wikimedia doesn't even make use of the DPLforums.
