| Description |
|
Various backends may normalize titles, authors, and other fields according to their own different rules. It would be good if the codex record could carry a normalized version of such fields for sorting and merging. |

For example, many titles sort better if we drop leading words like "the". But when merging two sorted lists, mod-codex-mux needs to compare the actual sort keys. Also, some items may have two publishers, and we can only sort by one of them. |
