Hey, librarians and archivists. Would anyone be willing to help with alphabetization guidelines?
I'm ignoring "The" and "A" at the beginning of titles. I also ignore them inside titles, right? Any other words I ignore?
And CAN I alphabetize while ignoring spaces, or do I have to respect word boundaries? Ie. Do all titles starting with the word "I" go before all other titles, or can I put "I wanna hold your hand" after "Insight"?
Also, how do contractions work? Is "I'm all yours but you're all mine" AFTER all the titles starting with the word "I", with the "I am" titles, or right after something starting with "I make"?
I've been making it up as I go, but I'm using different rules on different sections of the list and I'm getting annoyed with myself.
In much of the western world, alphabetical order is simply a default we take for granted. It’s often the one we try first — or the one we use as a last resort when all the other ordering methods fail. It’s boring, but it works, and it’s so ingrained that it’s hard to imagine not using it. But before you can order anything alphabetically, you need an alphabet.
I've started a writing project where I first word by word sort a full book into alphabetical order, then once all the words are sorted I put them back in the original sentence structure so the entire book is alphabetized. I've done it with poems before but never a full book. My starter project is gonna be doing this to The King In Yellow, probably with special page effects on the pages for words like Yellow, Sign, Mask, King, etc. It's public domain, so if I finish alphabetizing and organizing it all I can sell copies. It's a lot of work, but imagine the fun of someone taking this off your shelf and opening it at random to just the same word typed over and over. I might even hand type and bind them myself for extra Unhinged.
My mom suggested I should do it with the Bible--well, she said "a book of the Bible" bc the whole thing is over 1000 pages of this--and I wanna ask folks what other public domain stuff I could try for this project.
Organizational question for you lot on The Internet:
Today I purchased The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection on DVD, containing the 14 films starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes that were produced in the 1930s and '40s.
As I prepare to file it in my film collection, I find myself stumped as to where to put it. Should it be filed under S for Sherlock, or H for Holmes?
Where should I file this collection?
S for 'Sherlock'
H for 'Holmes'
Neither. It should go under C for 'Complete'
The very fact that you made this poll says you are thinking about this too hard.

Does anyone else have to recite the alphabet to yourself when you look something up in an index/glossary, or do you just know the order intuitively?
Fuck it, why not make a poll:
When looking up a word in an index or glossary
I recite the alphabet to myself
I just know intuitively the order the letters are in
I have some other method for remembering the order of letters
[G comes between F and H (and I had to recite the alphabet yet again to write that) and glycogen is a "highly branched polysaccharide composed of glucose subunits; major carbohydrate storage form in body" and found on pages 31, 31f, 84-85, 85f.]
