The warning about sorting of composer names
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2025 4:23 pm
When I browse the Composers category, I always see the following notice:
The warning seems to mean "Watch out - the list is sorted in a naïve/incorrect way", but (at least in general) I think the list is already the way it should be. Is the warning still serving a purpose?
But when I look for evidence of that, I see that there has been at least a very significant effort to put each name where it ought to be. (For example, many Dutch names with Van belong under V, and that is where they are.)Note: Composers are not sorted on prepositions in surnames.
