DEFAULTSORT
If the page begins with "a", "an", or "the", use the tag to change how the article is sorted alphabetically in category pages. Names of real people should be formatted with the last name first, followed by a comma and the first name. This does not apply to people using stage name or screen name For fictional characters, the DEFAULTSORT format should not be applied, unless the character begins with "a", "an", or "the". The DEFAULTSORT tag should always be after the article content (the "External links" section), but before the categories.
 * Examples:
 * Examples:
 * Avoid last name then first name formats for fictional characters, like

Order
