Name sort
"Van" names are hard to sort correctly. Do we have a confirmation that "Wely, Loek Van" is correct? | FIDE has "Van Wely, Loek", although I don't think FIDE is a particularly authoritative source for this sort of information. Quale (talk) 07:21, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've always thought it was the way FIDE did it, but according to Van (Dutch), he would be listed as something like "Wely, Loek van" in the phone directory. I don't know which way we usually do it.  (talk) 07:30, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You made me reexamine the name sort changes I made in Index of chess articles and I found I had made a couple mistakes.  Quale (talk) 08:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * On a similar tack, I've just noticed some instances of capitalised Van, Van De, Van Der etc. following the christian name, which I gather is completely wrong. I'll correct these. Brittle heaven (talk) 09:13, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
