Nobiliary particles. The d' case.

[Dardel]

Reunion makes a good job in sorting names like "de Foucault" or "von Habsburg" under Foucault and Habsburg respectively.
However, names beginning with a d' like "d'Alembert" or "d'Orl

Re: Nobiliary particles. The d' case.

Think of the possibility of using a non-breaking space in such complicated names, then it is possible to sort the name of 'Boy de la Tour' under the character B. Look in the Manual.

This solution works with such cases as "Boy de la Tour", but it does not solve de "d'Alembert" case. In my database, I have many such cases, e.g.: D'Amours, D'Astous, D'Anjou, D'Auteuil. So I concur with Dardel on this. I would like to add to this the fact that one cannot search on such names: the search must be on Damours or Dauteuil (without the apostrophe or any space)
