An article I recently got accepted in Wikipedia references the subject (person - Rick DePiro) in several categories -- the problem is that in these numerous categories, his name is coming up under the letter of his FIRST name when ALL others in the category come up referenced by their LAST name. Is that a bug or is someone wrongly entering this information? ie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mensa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Stadium_organists http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:American_pianists&from=R etc.
Not a bug. Instead of [[Category:American pianists]], you need to use [[Category:American pianists|DePiro, Rick]] to indicate that you want the page to sort as "DePiro, Rick" rather than "Rick DePiro. The software can't magically tell that an article is about a person (e.g. Albert Einstein is a person, but New Jersey is not) or where the first name ends and the last name starts (e.g. Herseth Sandlin, Stephanie vs. Emerson, Jo Ann), so you have to hint it manually.
