Person alphabetized incorrectly in faculty/staff listing
Problem or Known Issue:
A person appears in their staff or faculty listing, but in the wrong location.
Why it happens:
Person's sort name is incorrect or missing.
Solution:
- Go to the person Person node and click Edit.
- In the "Sort Name" field, enter the name the person as it should be alphabetized.
Note: The sort name field is intended to give you flexibility to indicate the proper alphabetization order and easily accomodate different naming conventions, not to override the College's faculty/staff list standards.
In other words, entries should follow a "last name, first name" or "surname, given name" format. Don't use it to sort your lists by first name. If you want a special order for a particular purpose, contact [webguys] for options.
