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). -- Chucktalk 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

- 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)
- Thanks for noticing that, Rob. I just reverted a Text Replace that shouldn't have been applied to this template. Carlos 22:43, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Would it be possible to use the sort key in this template with Evening Canticles and Morning Canticles as well as Masses? This page is currently incorrectly sorted in the category, for example. Also, would it be possible to not drop the final "s" on "Canticles" since in most cases, there are two canticles paired - Magnificat with Nunc dimittis and Te deum with Jubilate, for example. --Bobnotts talk 13:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
