Alphabetical order sounds interesting when you mix non-anglicized international names. Do you go by Unicode sort order?
I’m in physics, we have this thing where the first author did the most and the last author supervised the most, and the person in the middle just had an occasional coffee with them.
I’d guess it’d be a particular collation, rather than Unicode order…otherwise ö would always come after z (which is incorrect for English, but correct for, e.g., Swedish).
> otherwise ö would always come after z
Really? Wouldn't that depend on how you spelled it and what kind of Unicode ordering you specified?
Which comes first?
'\u0047\u00f6\u0064\u0065\u006c'
'\u0047\u006f\u0308\u0064\u0065\u006c'
