h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In encyclopedias and other compilations of information put the 'The's and 'A's at the end of the title, along with other similar changes, so that, when alphabetized, the articles don't all end up under 'T' and 'A', and articles with similar subjects end up next to each other. Why isn't H2G2 organized this way?

what's 'organised'mean?

According to Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition:

Organized 3a: to set up an administrative structure for

‘Organised’ is listed as the brittish variant of ‘organized’.

There are lots of technical reasons, most of which boil down to the fact that we did the index in a hurry, and haven't yet got round to recoding it in a more efficient and more correct manner.

We're a bunch of lazy sods, really.

Also, we are working on a classification system which will arrange articles in meaningful categories, which will not only make it easier to find the information you want, but also easier to see where information is missing if you're looking for something to write an article about.

Okay.

Thanks.

Just wondering...
did they ever do this?

Yes we did. <./>Browse</.> the categorisation, and browse the <./>index</.>.
