[edit]List of earldoms (section- Earldoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, 1801–present) sorts Earl of St Andrews and Earl of St Germans between Earl of Snowdon and Earl of Stockton. I suggest that there should be consistency between the sorting on that page and the sorting in Category:Earldoms in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Incidentally, the same principle is true for Earl St Aldwyn and Earl St Maur, which it sorts between Earl Sondes and Earl Sydney. Alekksandr (talk) 14:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- There should be consistency, and "St" should be sorted as "Saint", as is normal in British English. DuncanHill (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks - can you suggest a mechanism to ensure that this happens in List of earldoms? Thanks in advance. Alekksandr (talk) 16:13, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
