        (in windows the default mixer shows per application volume levels, the pulse audio mixer on linux is similar)

        https://musicbrainz.org/artist/f91e3a88-24ee-4563… has obviously the wrong sortname for them

        Hmm. Doesn't look like we have any guidelines for that, or for non-Latin sortnames at all.
      • 2013-04-01 09144, 2013

      • reosarevok
        We do! "Alias sortnames should use the appropriate script for the locale" from http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Artist/Sort_Name

      • Leftmost
        Well, ja uses FAMILYNAME givenname as its typical name ordering, and I suspect it sorts that way as well.

        even in korean names generally have hangul and hanja forms (I don't know how koreans sort either).
      • 2013-04-01 09127, 2013

      • Leftmost
        Japanese uses kana for sorting, and doesn't differentiate between hiragana and katakana.

      • Leftmost
        In my experience.

        if it's just hangul, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul#South_Korean… has the sort order.
