User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js is a script that sorts categories in an article alphabetically.

To install the script, add:

importScript('User:Alex 21/script-functions.js');
importScript('User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js');

to Special:MyPage/common.js.

>>> User:Alex 21/script-functions.js is required to include multiple shared functions, and the custom "TV Scripts" header, many of which are used identically in a few of my other scripts - you only need to include it in Special:MyPage/common.js once. Follow the instructions at User:Alex 21/script-functions for installing scripts by Alex 21. <<<

Upon clicking the "Sort categories" link under "Tools" on the left, the script will sort categories alphabetically, with eponymous categories appearing first, and categories starting with "A [..]" or "The [..]" being sorted according to their second word. So, running it on an article with:

[[Category:Serial drama television series]]
[[Category:American action television series]]
[[Category:2010s American time travel television series]]
[[Category:2012 American television series debuts]]
[[Category:The CW shows]]
[[Category:American adventure television series]]

will result in the categories being listed as:

[[Category:2010s American time travel television series]]
[[Category:2012 American television series debuts]]
[[Category:American action television series]]
[[Category:American adventure television series]]
[[Category:The CW shows]]
[[Category:Serial drama television series]]

Please report any bugs on the talk page of the script's creator.
