I think the point in his posting was to say that it *should not* always show the actual title, and I agree with him. We shouldn't have "Albert Einstein" under E, we should have "Einstein, Albert".
I always thought this was going to be done, and I actually thought that the fact that it used the string only as a sort key but not for display, was a bug. Personally, I think it should be "fixed". :-)
"Einstein, Albert" is ugly - it looks like a paper encyclopedia. There's nothing wrong with displaying grammatically correct "Albert Einstein", even when its ordered by family name.
I agree, I want "Albert Einstein" there. On the other hand, there are also cases when I _do_ want something different to stand there: I want [[George III of the United Kingdom]] to be in [[Category:British monarchs]] as "George III" and [[Deposition (Chemistry)]] in [[Category:Chemistry]] as "Deposition". But how we get a syntax for that without making things too complicated again, I do not know either.
