What are accented letters?
Diacritics, often loosely called `accents', are the various little dots and squiggles which, in many languages, are written above, below or on top of certain letters of the alphabet to indicate something about their pronunciation.
What is alphabetic sorting?
We often sort letters and words in alphabetical order. This means to order them as they appear in the alphabet. When sorting words in to alphabetical order, we look at the first letter of the word. For example: the word c at comes before the word d og because c comes before d in the alphabet.
Which words to ignore when alphabetizing?
We ignore the three nonsignificant words (“a,” “an,” and “the”) at the beginning of an author name for the purposes of alphabetizing.
