Because I have become obsessed with the APA style rules recently (;-),

\startquotation
Alphabetize letter by letter. When alphabetizing surnames, remember
that “nothing precedes something”: Brown, J. R., precedes Browning, A.
R., even though i precedes j in the alphabet.

Singh, Y., precedes Singh Siddhu, N. 
López, M. E., precedes López de Molina, G.
Ibn Abdulaziz, T., precedes Ibn Nidal, A. K. M.
Girard, J.-B., precedes Girard-Perregaux, A. S.
Villafuerte, S. A., precedes Villa-Lobos, J.
Benjamin, A. S., precedes ben Yaakov, D.
\stopquotation

Of course, these are names, a favorite subject that I share with Hans
these days...
