--- Comment #32 from Heather <[email protected]> --- Hi, Aleisha-- I don't think so. In https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015022080140&view=1up&seq=63 Rule 12 states, "Words connected by a hyphen are always treated as separate words. This rule applies even when the first part of a hyphenated word is a prefix that sometimes appears as an integral part of the word. This rule also applies to compound surnames." So, yes, "nothing before something," but a hyphen is treated as "nothing," i.e., a space. So I agree with Janusz that "Haendel-Adler, John" should be first in the example. Most insitutions agree, too, that the order should then be: Haendel-Adler, John Haendel, Georg Haendel Gregory The Library of Congress Filing Rules go deeply into intricacies...but Koha is a global community. In this case, though, I think LC Filing Rules are agreeing with most institutions worldwide that the order should be: Haendel-Adler, John Haendel, Georg Haendel Gregory If we go more deeply into the LC Filing Rules, we could come up with examples that are different based on whether the heading is a surname, a topic, a place, etc., and which elements of the field we're filing on, but the Rules were written at a time when the vast majority of libraries had humans filing cards in different card catalogs: an author/title catalog, and a different subject catalog. We are now in an era when keyword searching returns results from multiple indexes, and this makes the most sense and agrees with the basic tenets of common filing rules: Haendel-Adler, John Haendel, Georg Haendel Gregory Aleisha--shall I test the patch again? Nick: I think we're really close!
