the only reliable way i do see it is sorted database dump. full one, with edit history. sort pages by revision id, then do search for category:cat: 1st match will be in the oldest revision.

the problem is: full dump might be big, so big so js will not sort it in sane amount of time. also, you will not be able to use notepad or other standard text processing tools, by same reason: they will not open hundreds of megabytes.

although, it might be simpler if you will search for 1 page only.
