Break Guess Sort Name into type-specific behaviors

XMLWordPrintable

      Guess Sort Name currently attempts to apply the same rules across entity types, which is ineffective. In particular, attempting to apply sort name principles for individuals (Surname, Everything Else) to every type of entity is haphazard at best.

      Concrete improvements to undertake:

      • Make guessing function entity type-specific
      • Allow different behaviors depending on entity properties (e.g., Creator type)
      • Apply only article-based changes (the, a, an) to all entity types, with the exception of individual creators
