There are several complex issues to do with the collating sequence or sort order of names in categories.

== Universities ==

Universities often have the name "University" first in their title - such as "University of Sheffield", but should be placed in Categories as if their name was "Sheffield University". There is a standard mechanism for that. See for example [[University of British Columbia]] in [[:Category:Universities]], which is sorted under "B".

There are some exceptions to this where the University part is taken as an integral component of the whole name - such as "University of the Air" or "University College London".

== Colleges ==

Normally these do not generate any special problems

== Schools ==

Schools and school-like entities are collated under the lower case letter beginning their name when they are included in categories which mix schools and post-secondary institutions. See for example [[Open High School of Utah]] in [[:Category:United States]] but contrast this with how it is treated in [[:Category:Virtual schools]].

== Ministries ==

These pose complex problems. In Categories which are about Countries or Regions they should be placed in the default order depending just on their wiki name. In Categories which are about Ministries or similar entities should be sorted under the name of the country.
