Sort keys

I like this template, but unfortunately, it does not categorize Masses properly, since when a work is categorized as a Mass, it requires a special sort key of the form "ComposerSurname, ComposerFirstname(s)". Probably the template needs some tweaking for this special case (an extra sortkey parameter for the Masses case, and also a different sortkey for other cases, such as then "The Haven" is to be sorted under "Haven, The). -- Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 21:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I had forgotten this special case. A sort key was added, one just needs to add 9=surname, name to the template. Fortunately, the other sortkey for alternative page titles is no longer necessary, DEFAULTSORT will suffice in those cases. —Carlos 05:37, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to be working... see Missa Beati Conradi (Peter Griesbacher) and Messe de Minuit pour Noël (Marc-Antoine Charpentier) for examples. --Bobnotts talk 18:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
