Sorting titles by composer

Post by Richard Mix »

I was just looking at the O sacrum convivium settings at Category:Corpus Christi and noticed they're nicely sorted by composer first name. Is there a simple solution, or is that the reason IMSLP settled on the less elegant Title (Last, First) convention?

Hi Richard. I'm not quite sure what you're asking. What is the solution you want? If the idea is to sort by composer surname, this could be done by editing each score page and adding a sort key to the end of the category. For instance, the category on the Pergolesi O Sacrum would be: [[Category:Corpus Christi|O Sacrum convivium, Pergolesi, Giovanni Battista]]

Thanks, that does answer my question. Sounds like work, though :roll:
