The short answer is ... "yes, if it's configured the way you want it to work".  The new browse interface will have access to all the normalization options that regular search does, and if you don't tell it to discard punctuation then ","s and the like will count for sorting.

Dear Suzannah,

The work on authorities is very welcome and much needing at our institute, so this is very good news.
Did you also tackle the alphabetization of authors names? I noticed that comma's separating last names and first names are now disregarded:

1 Pieters
1 Pieterse, J.
1 Pieterse, J.J.
1 Pieterse, K.
1 Pieterse, Keith

Or should I mention this on launchpad as a bug?


Mieke,

For the record, there is an existing launchpad bug created by one of your co-workers that covers this issue. See if you can find this launchpad bug for this issue for everyones reference, because I can't find it yet. It might be decided that a new bug report should be created, but I think it is  helpful to refer to any pre-existing related bugs.

It also gives me a chance to label myself as being affected by the original bug too,
Yamil
