Wikipedia has a nifty template we should consider borrowing. Called DEFAULTSORT, it automatically seats an entry in the right place in any catgories into which that entry is included. Thus, the list of categories for Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals Justice Rosemary Barkett reads:

{{DEFAULTSORT:Barkett, Rosemary}}
[[Category:1939 births]]
[[Category:Living people]]
[[Category:Mexican-born United States political figures]]
[[Category:Florida state court judges]]
[[Category:Judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit]]
[[Category:Living people]]
[[Category:People from Tamaulipas]]
[[Category:Syrian Mexicans]]

The article therefore shows up under "B" in all of the above categories.(note: I am not endorsing this category scheme, just the template).
