Saint Charles School Saint Hilaire Institute Saint Patrick Club Saint-Nazaire (France) Saint-Pierre (Martinique) Saint, Eva Marie Saint, Joseph But it should sort like this: Saint Charles School Saint, Eva Marie Saint (Fictitious... Saint Hilaire Institute Saint Patrick Club Saint-Nazaire (France) Saint-Pierre (Martinique) There is documentation of this filing order in _Library of Congress Filing Rules_ which can be freely accessed here: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015022080140&view=1up&seq=3 Especially in section 1, General Filing Order: ---Begin quote: Fields in a filing entry are arranged word by word, and words are arranged character by character. This procedure is continued until one of the following occurs: a. A prescribed filing position is reached. b. The field comes to an end (in which case placement is determined by another field of the entry or by applying one of the rules given hereafter). c. A mark of punctuation indicating a subarrangement is encountered. 1.1. Order of Letters Letters are arranged according to the order of the English alphabet (A-Z). Upper and lower case letters have equal filing value. 1.1.1. Modified Letters Modified letters are treated like their plain equivalents in the English alphabet. Thus all diacritical marks and modifications of recognizable English letters are treated as if they did not exist; e.g., ä, á, å, ł , ñ, ø are filed as a, 1, n, o. The treatment of special letters that cannot be readily equated with English letters is described in Rule 17. Example Hand blows Hand book for Prospect Park Hand in glove Håndbok for sangere Handbook for adventure Hände am Pflug Hands on the past Haṇḍu [Indic surname] 1.2. Placement of Numerals Numbers expressed in digits or other notation (e.g., roman numerals) precede letters and, with few exceptions, they are arranged according to their numerical value. According to this rule, all filing entries beginning with numerals appear before entries beginning with the letter A. Numbers expressed as words are filed alphabetically. Detailed instructions for filing numerals are given in Rule 16. Example 1, 2, 3, and more 1, 2, buckle my shoe 3 died variously 10 ways to become rich 13 jolly saints 112 Elm Street 838 ways to amuse a child 1000 spare time money making ideas 1984 10,000 trade names 1,000,000 delinquents A is for anatomy A4D desert speed run Aa, Abraham Henry II Henry 3 Henry VIII and his six wives Henry Street Settlement, New York Henry the Fourth, part two Longitude 30 west Longitude and time Nineteen eighty-four Oberlin College one, two, three for fun Rubinstein, Moshe F. Ten thousand miles on a bicycle Three 14th century English mystics Three by Tey Thucydides 1.3. Signs and Symbols Nonalphabetic signs and symbols within a field are generally ignored in filing and the remaining letters or numerals are used as the basis of arrangement (see also Rule 18). 1.3.1. Punctuation Punctuation as such has no place in the collating sequence of characters considered in filing arrangement. A mark of punctuation is taken into account, however, in two situations: 1) when it signals the end of an element or field and indicates the need for subarrangement as described in the following rules; and 2) when it serves as the sole separator between two discrete words (e.g., Mott-Smith; 1951/1952; 1:3) and so must be treated as equivalent to a space. The second situation dictates that a hyphen will always be treated as a space (see also Rules 12 and 16). ---End quote -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
