In MW 1.17 case insensitive sorting was fixed on category pages so "bar" sorts before "Foo" and not after A-Z. Lists like [[Special:EditWatchlist]] still sort case sensitive: http://i.imgur.com/O81U6.png Tested with MySQL, MW 1.16a and trunk on mediawoiki.org
solution: change watchlist.wl_title collation to something proper like latin1_german... (not latin1_swedish tho)
edit: maybe not...
wl_title: varchar(255) / latin1_swedish_ci This works for me in an extension that uses a similar table like watchlist. Someone please post if this is not correct.

I don't think we plan on using database collation support. your fix probably wouldn't work if you had non latin1 characters
