Gary North is very upset with our display of literature by author - namely
that it doesn't follow alphabetical conventions
This is obviously a db rule issue. Can anyone work with this ?

As you can see, we have some antique rules in here such as entries beginning
with quotations come first because they are articles. This was fine 8 years
ago but it no longer serves any purpose. It can go. But that still leaves a
and a and the as problems.
Can anyone adjust the display rule to adhere to conventions? It becomes an
issue mainly because we have SO MUCH STUFF!

OK, you can violate the universal rules of alphabetizing books.

Here is the rule:****

I have searched for an exception for the "a" and "an," but I could find
NONE. I've tried to think up titles, like "An Affair to Remember," to see
how it is cataloged. I have used the Library of Congress, OCLC [World Cat],
and several regional consortia. I could find NO exceptions. "A," "An," and
"The" are always omitted for alphabetizing purposes.****
