        so surely The should be capitalized

        Anyone around who knows how Korean and Japanese sort?

      • reosarevok
        https://musicbrainz.org/artist/f91e3a88-24ee-4563… has obviously the wrong sortname for them
      • 2013-04-01 09153, 2013

      • Leftmost
        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
      • 2013-04-01 09114, 2013

        Ergh, I wish capitalisation changes weren't automatic for limited users.
      • 2013-04-01 09144, 2013

      • reosarevok
        So I don't want to just copy the alias over and certainly don't want to press guess sortname :p
      • 2013-04-01 09121, 2013

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

        ko I'm not sure of, but I'd guess it's the same.
      • 2013-04-01 09114, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Leftmost: but I think it doesn't even sort with the same script it generally uses or something weird like that
      • 2013-04-01 09120, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Dunno how it works :)
      • 2013-04-01 09103, 2013

      • warp
        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.
      • 2013-04-01 09148, 2013

      • Leftmost
        In my experience.
      • 2013-04-01 09150, 2013

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

        reosarevok: I'm not entirely sure whether they sort western names by surname or not, but I would think it's better to just copy the alias name, since even if it's not perfectly ordered, it'll be in the right script
