Alphabetically ordering example pages

I've asked this before but...

Should Roman Numerals like IV count as 4 and therefore go before any works beginning with letters?

Added:

• Danger — Thin Ice

To the sand box

Is it just me or does Short Story look confusingly alphabetized? Like maybe we should soft split it by author?

I can think of only one work starting with a Roman numeral, XIII. Do others exist on this wiki?

Aside maybe π we don't have roman Title by Number.

This would be more relevant for, say, ensuring that Final Fantasy VIII goes before Final Fantasy IX. (In practice, examples within a series are ordered chronologically anyway, regardless of titles...)

Trying to clean up the ZCE on Manga.Tail Star, only to realize that the alphabetization is out of whack in the middle.

Characters.Randals Friends needs alphabetizing, from the looks of it. I'll try to circle back around to it later, but dropping it off here as well since my to-do list is already stupidly long

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but while alphabetizing Wondrous Ladies Room I found this entry in the Western Animation folder:

• A series of cartoon shorts run during the Psych commercials show the ladies' room as being an all-female Mount Olympus.

I'm not sure if this is the correct media category, so I've removed it from the Western Animation folder, but don't know where to move it to.

Added Giving Up the Ghost to the sandbox

The Comic Books folder on Salvaged Story seems to be the only one left to alphabetise. Once I'm done with that, should I go ahead and remove it from the sandbox? The subpages all seem to be in working order, as well.

I have a question regarding alphabetizing music artists. IIRC, singers are usually sorted by surname (i.e. Paul McCartney would be listed under "M" rather than "P"), but does this rule apply for groups that uses Artist and the Band name? For example, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers — would that go under "J" or "M"?

Artist and the Band seems to go by artist’s last name (at least where it is alphabetized).

The Characters / League of Legends: K is getting pretty big and in need of a split, but I ran into a problem: Right now based on the characters listed, I would like there to be a clean split of "Ka" (about half of the "K" names start with "Ka") and "Ke to Ko" characters (the last "K" name right now is "Kog'Maw), but there's an outlier with K'Sante, who by most alphabetical considerations due to his punctuation is meant to come very first and precedes "Ka-", at least with every official list.

According to How to Alphabetize Things, we are meant to ignore apostrophes and thus place him as if he was a "Ks-" name, and thus put him at the very end of the current list. Is that right? Or is there some degree of exception given that this is a character name for folders rather than a trope as part of an example list itself? If so, what's the right namespace for that? "K to Ka"?

Also, should I leave the latter page as just "Ke to Ko" for right now, or should I mark it with "Ke to Ky" in case we ever get a "Ky-" name down the line?

Does League of Legends itself provide some form of alphabetization?

Yep, on all official sources like the website and in-game, K'Sante is the very first of the K names.

So we should probably use the game's alphabetization instead of normal example alphabetization.
