Hi Alan,
This still puzzles me a bit.
You write: “Brown, J. R., precedes Browning, A.R., even though i precedes j in the alphabet.”
But isn’t that because “," precedes “i" ?
Likewise, when sorting these names (with TeX-Edit Plus), Singh Siddhu, N. comes out before Singh, Y., not the reverse, precisely because, as you say, “nothing precedes something”, or the space between Singh and Siddhu precedes the comma between Singh and Y.
Same with López de Molina, G. and López, M. E.
Or does ConTeXt, or TeX, have its own sorting order?
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
