That wouldn't prevent someone to submit a change in another ticket to implement
the Library of Congress Filing Rules. From a functional POV if there is no
other convention that this would conflict with, then there wouldn't be an issue
to change that last sorting rule.

About that, I'm not sure there is a config in ICU or Elastic that changes only
what we need without messing up all the rest. For reference if someone wants to
dig into that:

We might be in this situation. It seems getting the last detail (which isn't
strictly the initial report but a thread that lead us to a clew of yarn ^^)
suddenly greatly raises the time to make a working solution.

Other than that, the current proposal has no known potential issue, right?
