Talk:List of Portuguese-language authors

alphabetical order edit

I'd like to silently ask: why is this alphabetical order the way as it is? Shouldn't we sort them by surenames rather? What do You (all the others) think? This order here is like having Gerald Durrel at letter G and William Golding at letter W or Julio Cortázar at letter J... it's a bit... chaotic. Somebody do something!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myrmeleon formicarius (talkcontribs) 22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, 6 years later and it's still absurd. Dahn (talk) 15:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alphabetization of lists of Portuguese names edit

Two things to keep in mind:

  1. You don’t need to be silent or angry if something is wrong on Wikipedia; you have the power to fix it!
  2. Lists of Portuguese names are often sorted by the full name. It isn’t absurd so much as it is a cultural and linguistic difference. giso6150 (talk) 21:32, 11 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
