I assume that the examples given above would also cover the case where the "author" is an organisation, e.g. a government or company report. I think there are two possibilities for handling this and I am not sure which route you have chosen to follow: 1. Use the organisation (or an abbreviation) as the creator name and sort as normal. 2. Leave the creator name blank in which case the sort algorithm will have to recognise the material type and if necessary use the organisation as the primary sort key (and of course for display in the citation). >From a user's point I think the second method is preferable, but from the coders' perspective more involved.
