Sorting alphabetically

edit

This is an Icelandic name, where the second word is a patronymic ("Son of Gunnar") rather than an inherited surname. Do we sort by the first name or last name? - Eastmain (talkcontribs) 01:40, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

In case nobody realized the answer in the last ten years, you sort by the name. The name being, of course, Guðmundur. There is no other part to the name unless you force the patronymic to become the second or last name, which would be foolish and wrong. 2600:1700:EA01:1090:68B4:E40B:D02D:E270 (talk) 07:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Eastmain and 2600:1700:EA01:1090:68B4:E40B:D02D:E270:
I have corrected the article according to WP:SUR. You can find more explanations in Wikipedia:WikiProject Iceland/Style advice.
