Format of catalogs

How should the entries of the catalogs be arranged?

  • For Famous books I would suggest to list: Year it was first published - Title - Author (ordered by the year).
  • For Famous detectives it is more difficult. Simply by last name? Or classify them first by "type" (private detective, amateur, ...)? Or geographical (Maigret in Paris, ...)? Or by time period? Or a combination of these? In any case, I think the author should be added.
  • For the Prominent writers the alphabetical order is best, of course. But the format might need a change. (Perhaps year of birth should be added, too?). Concerning the title: Is "prominent" a good choice? (Will all entries be prominent?)
