In what order should categories be listed within the article?
Both the alphabet and importance are used to order categories currently. Since some categories are obviously less relevent to the reader than others, categories should be ordered so that someone reading the article can use them to understand the subject, directing the reader to the categories that are most important to exploring the subject or understanding its context. Although this, like most ordering issues in Wikipedia, is a matter for judgment, it is generally clear that some categories — for example the birthplace or birth year of a person — are less important than others, such as their status as an Oscar or Nobel Prize winner.Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Categorisation schemes.
