[Wikia-l] DEFAULTSORT not working properly

[Cizaña]

The page has {{DEFAULTSORT:Cronman, Elisabeth}} at the bottom and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Categories#Default_sort_key says that if
there are different default sorts it will pick the bottom one. Since it only
says about DEFAULTSORT i took a bold step and tested <
http://genealogy.wikia.com/index.php?title=Elisabeth_Cronman_%281630-1687%29&diff=199619&oldid=195346>
and looks like it now works properly because as it says it picks the bottom
one if various are present.
