[edit] Original Suggestion and DiscussionIt appears that prefixes are sorting incorrectly in the Surname field on Source pages. For example, I enter the following surnames into the field: Abbot, Barker, Case, Dahl, Erwin, van Dijk, de Boer, De Boer, Van Dijk (notice the capitalization differences with De, de, Van, van). The list is sorted and displayed in the field like this: Abbot, Barker, Case, Dahl, De Boer, Erwin, Van Dijk, de Boer, van Dijk instead of like this: Abbot, Barker, Case, Dahl, De Boer, Erwin, Van Dijk The system is also not recognizing the duplicate entries (de Boer/De Boer and van Dijk/Van Dijk). --Jennifer (JBS66) 17:57, 13 October 2011 (EDT) [edit] Neutral Watcherscos1776 [edit] Admin Follow Up (Nov 2016)We are currently working through the backlog of old suggestions. Analysis: Sort in Surname field still displays as above, however the system does recognize the duplicate entries (ex. Van Alst/van Alst) and only displays one search link for "Van Alst" in the side menu. Note: there is also the additional "Alst" link due to the compound surname. Status: Open. Partially resolved.
