How should the entries of the catalogs be arranged?
* For [[Crime fiction/Catalogs/Famous books|Famous books]] I would suggest to list: Year it was first published - Title - Author (ordered by the year).
* For [[Crime fiction/Catalogs/Famous detectives|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 [[Crime fiction/Catalogs/Prominent writers|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?)
