Description

Right now "Guess" for sort names will not move the "De" part of Italian and Spanish surnames to the surname. Sort name of "Federico De Medici" will be guessed as "Medici, Federico De", it should be guessed as "De Medici, Federico".

There are no occurrences I can think of where "De", "de" or "Di" are part of somebody's name. They are always part of the surname.

This is language dependent (see http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/SortNameStyle). I imagine this is near impossible to do automatically with the current input fields because fixing one language will break another.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

This doesn't apply at least to French and Portuguese, for which proper sorting rejects the "de" particle to the end of the sortname (I'm not a Spanish expert but I think I remember sorting rules there also are quite complex).

Add/Change #3660 (Add support for "de" and "De" in sort name surnames)
