Forum:Is there a way to alphabetize sub-categories with more than a single symbol?

Hi, I'm hoping somebody can tell me if there's a way to do this. What I'm trying to do is to have a sub-category listed on a category page under an alphabetization longer than a single symbol. Specifically, I want the category "Protagonists" to be listed as a sub-category of the "Characters" category under the alphabetization of "By Affiliation" rather than "B", which is what it gets listed as (despite the category coding being.

I'd appreciate it if anybody can help. Revitalizer 02:14, April 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * As I recall, there is a MediaWiki extension for this. If Wikia supports it, you can ask them to add it to your wiki with Special:Contact. If they don't, you're out of luck.


 * Thanks Monchoman45. I've contacted Wikia about the extension and I'll let you know if it's supported or not once they reply. Revitalizer 18:06, April 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Monchoman45 (or anybody else), do you have any idea what that extension is called? Wikia replied saying that there's no way of them knowing if the extension is available without knowing the name of the extension. I have no idea how Wikia organizes their available extensions so I had no idea I actually needed the name. Revitalizer 17:21, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thought I'd bump this topic. Hopefully somebody knows what the extension is called. Revitalizer 22:12, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you used w:c:batenkaitos:Special:Contact yet? I would do that first. Just explain what you want. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 13 May 2011 6:15 PM Pacific


 * They've already used Special:Contact, but the staff weren't able to help without knowing the name of the extension.
 * Looking at mw:Category:Category extensions, I don't see anything that matches that the extension you're looking for. Are you positive this extension exists Monchoman or do remember where you heard about it? -- Deltaneos (talk) 13:00, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone else had a forum thread similar to this one, where they found an extension that would do what they wanted. It may have been a custom extension, though, which would mean Wikia doesn't have it.
 * Thank you for trying to help everyone. When I went through mw:Category:Category extensions I couldn't find anything either. I suppose I'll give up the search for now. It's not critical after all. Revitalizer 21:09, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
