Category talk:Migrants from Europe to Australia

Order of listing
Currently "Migrants from Europe to New South Wales" is the only subcategory that specifies a state of Australia rather than a country of Europe. Both sorts belong here but it would be sensible to separate them.

One approach could be to have the "country" ones alphabetized because there are potentially so many more of them, giving the "state" ones a star between the pipe and the name so that they would list before the countries.

However, for future creation of migrant categories using bots, it is desirable to have a system that applies to all. The subject has been mentioned on other category or talk pages. One of us could look at a few to see if any pattern has been established. If there's a mixture, then as a starter for discussion I suggest the motto "first things first", i.e. in all cases give a division of the "from" place an asterisk so that they list first.
