I will go with whatever decision you make in this matter. But, if it's also all right, and since we don't seem to have discussed this particular matter before, may I ask why the DEFAULTSORT decision? I mean, it's not a huge deal or anything like that (all the pages still show up in the category page, whatever order that may be), but it did take me by surprise. Characters like ä å ö ō ū all collate after z in default Unicode order, because they're not part of the ASCII block and instead part of higher Latin script blocks. Even if we're not going strictly by English collation in every case, that's mostly fine for Swedish (in texts written in Swedish, where z < å < ä < ö collation order is expected, with the slight snag that ä actually comes before å in Unicode where Swedish expects the opposite), but it still seems very unusual for Japanese rōmaji, which is typically collated o/ō < p < u/ū < w, where the long and short marked vowels are collated together.
