would sort "The Barn" as "Barn, The" in both categories.

You can also set the sort key for just one category at a time, like 

to sort it as "Barn, The" in Category:Places, but leave it as "The Barn" in Category:Things.

Remember that, if you assign categories via templates, pages only get categorized when they're saved, so you'll have to do at least a null edit on every page you want to re-categorize.
