Here in the Netherlands we also 'skip' certain words like DE / HET (the) or EEN (a/one) so books in a library would be sorted as
Angst
Duin
Laatste Offer, Het
Ringwereld, De
Testament, Het
The same technique is used for the names of Authors Lastname, Firstname but with words like 'de' and 'van' combined with the firstname.
So Yvonne van der Meer would be Meer, Yvonne van der
Sorting would go like
Meer, Yvonne van der
Mendes, Bob
Vogt, A.E. van
