See comments 10, 11 and 17:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29680#c11
You'll need a newer MediaWiki than 1.17 (something that includes
r91510 <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/91510>)
or to patch in that rev to your local copy of 1.17. (the attachment
seems to apply fine with a few harmless warnings e.g. "Hunk #1
succeeded at 4236 (offset -11 lines).")
Then put these 5 lines in the bottom of LocalSettings.php
$wgHooks['GetDefaultSortkey'][] = 'wfFixSortorder';
function wfFixSortorder( $title, &$sortkey ) {
$sortkey = $title->getPrefixedText();
return true;
}
And run this script:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RefreshLinks.php . If that
doesn't fix it then try
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Update.php per comment 17 on that
bug linked above?
No guarantee this will work (I haven't tested it) but it seems to have
for the guy in that bug. As always, make a DB backup first.
