Editing Alphabetical order (section)

====''The'' and other common words====
If a phrase begins with a very common word (such as "the", "a" or "an", called articles in grammar), that word is sometimes ignored or moved to the end of the phrase, but this is not always the case. For example, the book "[[The Shining (novel)|The Shining]]" might be treated as "Shining", or "Shining, The" and therefore before the book title "[[Summer of Sam]]". However, it may also be treated as simply "The Shining" and after "Summer of Sam". Similarly, "[[A Wrinkle in Time]]" might be treated as "Wrinkle in Time", "Wrinkle in Time, A", or "A Wrinkle in Time". All three alphabetization methods are fairly easy to create by algorithm, but many programs rely on simple [[lexicographic order]]ing instead.
