Details[edit]
$title: A Title object representing the page in question&$categoryObj: What sortkey to use unless a custom one is specified. If a custom sortkey was specified, this value would be used as a tie breaker for the specified sortkey.
Notes[edit]
After adding an extension that uses this hook, you should run php updateCollation.php --force to re-sort any existing category entries. What the default sortkey for a page is, is not stored in the DB, so things won't get updated until the category is removed and re-added to a page, or the maintenance script is run.
This should not use any information that could change other then the title object, because such sortkeys are only re-calculated on page moves or if the category is removed and re-added.
