Talk:List of Norwegian sportspeople

Alphabetical order error
I have noticed that people with surnames beginning with "aa" being placed first in the lists. However, "aa" is equivalent to the letter "å", the last letter in the Norwegian alphabet. Thus, these people should be placed at the end of the lists, rather than the front. For example, Erling Haaland is placed as the first h in the football section before Vebjørn Hagen, when he should, in fact, be the last h, after Øystein Hesjedal.— Prof zed  !   22:13, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

 * , the English Wikipedia follows sorting conventions for the English language, not the Norwegian alphabet (even though this is a Norwegian topic). Norwegian sorting will not be intuitive for speakers of English, who are the primary audience for the English Wikipedia. While there is no specific MOS for Norwegian topics, similar country-level MOS subpages say to ignore diacritics and/or follow English-language sorting conventions. See Japan, Poland, Ireland for a few examples. Our category sort keys are also done the same way. I intend to revert your change, please do not reinstate it unless you can point to a clear consensus that Norwegian articles should go against our conventions. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 22:51, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
