Elizabeth (Alaska) I know that the French leading articles Le and La should be at the end of the title just like 'the' in English. What about when it is with an apostrophe, such as L'Argent or L'Assommoir?

Arenda | 26447 comments L' should be treated similar to Le and La, so also at the end of the title in the "sort-by-title"field.


Elizabeth (Alaska) Thank you, Arenda. That's what I thought, but didn't want to go messing with them if I was wrong.

The same if you should edit Italian books with titles beginning with L'

Elizabeth (Alaska) Thanks, Moloch. I'll tuck that away.
