Hi! I noticed that your bot changed the alphabetical order of the interwiki. It put them in alphabetical order according to the shortening instead of according to the written out version it produces. For example, on Vertebral column, the interwiki is now listed as:

bg:Гръбначен стълб ca:Columna vertebral cs:Páteř cy:Asgwrn cefn de:Wirbelsäule en:Vertebral column eo:Vertebraro es:Columna vertebral fa:ستون مهره‌ها fi:Selkäranka

fr:Colonne vertébrale he:עמוד השדרה is:Hryggsúla it:Colonna vertebrale ja:脊椎 ln:Mokesa lt:Stuburas nl:Wervelkolom pl:Kręgosłup pt:Coluna vertebral

ru:Позвоночник sk:Chrbtica sl:Hrbtenica sv:Ryggrad th:กระดูกสันหลัง tr:Omurga uk:Хребет yi:רוקן ביין zh:脊柱

As you can see, the abbreviations are in alphabetical order. But the "in other languages" section is now listed as:

Български Català Česky Cymraeg Deutsch English Esperanto Español فارسی Suomi

Français עברית Íslenska Italiano 日本語 Lingála Lietuvių Nederlands Polski Português

Русский Slovenčina Slovenščina Svenska ไทย Türkçe Українська ייִדיש 中文

which is not in order. I didn't know if you were aware that your bot does this. I believe that the standard way of ordering the interwiki is so the "in other languages" section is alphabetical, not the other way around. · Tygartl1^·talk· 14:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I did not know that that page existed. Thank you for pointing me to it. I think you should have another look though. If you look under "By order of alphabet, based on local language", you will notice that it is done this way on both English and Simple English. · Tygartl1^·talk· 20:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
