    surname sorting

    Many older French-Canadians used "dit" names, i.e. Leclerc dit Lacroix.

    Some persons in the same family used dit names, others didn't.

    When the names are sorted, persons with the Leclerc surname appear first in the list, then Leclerc dit Lacroix.

    In a situation where you are searching for a Leclerc with 50-100 persons names Leclerc, it is easy to overlook a duplication, that is, Jean Leclerc and Jean Leclerc Lacroix might be the same person but you might not realize it among the many similar names.

    Is there a way to sort surnames based only on first name in a surname?
