But author sort is still an issue with lots of names where the first part of the last name as used by the actual human owning it is "de la ", "de ", "van " etc. It is something to be aware of and managed in the author table as discussed above. Discussed elsewhere at other times, there is no automated way to correctly solve the issue in all cases in all language-conventions. When unsure I look up that particular author on a bibliographic site.
