"del",
"della",

Particles are name particles that are moved to the end with the given name (library style). Example: "Ludwig van Beethoven" -> "Beethoven, Ludwig van".

Prefixes are honorifics/titles that are stripped from the sort name.
var TitleArticles = []string{
"The",

}
TitleArticles are articles to strip from the beginning of titles. These are moved to the end (e.g., "The Hobbit" -> "Hobbit, The").
Functions ¶
func ForPerson ¶
ForPerson generates a sort name from a person's display name. The name is converted to "Last, First Middle" format with proper handling of:
- Prefixes (Dr., Mr., etc.) - stripped
- Academic suffixes (PhD, MD, etc.) - stripped
- Generational suffixes (Jr., III, etc.) - preserved
- Particles (van, von, de, etc.) - moved to end with given name
Examples:
- "Stephen King" -> "King, Stephen"
- "Martin Luther King Jr." -> "King, Martin Luther, Jr."
- "Jane Doe PhD" -> "Doe, Jane"
- "Dr. Sarah Connor" -> "Connor, Sarah"
- "Ludwig van Beethoven" -> "Beethoven, Ludwig van"
func ForTitle ¶
ForTitle generates a sort title from a display title. Leading articles are moved to the end. Examples:
- "The Hobbit" -> "Hobbit, The"
- "A Tale of Two Cities" -> "Tale of Two Cities, A"
- "An American Tragedy" -> "American Tragedy, An"
- "Lord of the Rings" -> "Lord of the Rings" (no change)
