Thanks for the additional information. Of course, that information just makes me think of more things to ask. First, is the general rule regarding Spanish names limited to Spain or is it true in all (most?) Spanish speaking countries? Second, would a name like Pedro Antonio de Alarcón be sorted as Alarcón (under A) or as de Alarcón (under D)?

Related question: Should Spanish names that include an accent be sorted as if the accent wasn't there or should the accented letter move the name up or down in a sort order? So, for example (and I'm just making this up...), would Alarcón sort before or after Alarcot? I'd assume before unless the accented o comes after the unaccented o.

What can I say? I'm a metadata geek. A cold metadata geek. A cold metadata geek with a new puppy that doesn't want to sleep in his crate at night. Sigh.
