Sort keys are sometimes needed to produce a correct ordering of member pages and subcategories on the category page. For the mechanics, see Sorting category pages on the help page.
Categories of people are usually sorted by last name rather than first name, so "surname, forename" sort keys are used (as in "Washington, George"). There are many other rules for sorting people's names; for more information, see WP:NAMESORT.
Other sort key considerations (in no particular order):
[[Category:Example| ]]
Those articles are typically homonymous or at least synonymous to their category. Furthermore, other general articles that are highly relevant to the category should be sorted with an asterisk as key so that they also appear at the top of a category but beneath the main article/s. Example: [[Category:Example|*]]
Those articles are typically called "History of example", "Types of example", "List of example" or similar.{{DEFAULTSORT}}
magic word should be used. Per
WP:FOOTERS, this is placed just before the list of category declarations. Default sort keys are sometimes defined even where they do not seem necessary—when they are the same as the page name, for example—in order to prevent other editors or automated tools from trying to infer a different default.

Find A Grave,
Officer Down Memorial,
IMdB, etc. are forum-based sites. These are edited by anyone (similar to Wikipedia) and contain huge amounts of non-vetted, unscholarly additions which have no editor oversight. Therefore, such sites are considered wholly non-reliable by Wikipedia policy of referencing and citing. Please stop your additions to articles base entirely on information gleaned from such sites. Thank you.
