People: classified alphabetically by surname, and not from alias or common names. Flora & Fauna: sections arranged according to the binomial scientific name of species of animals and plants. Geography: classification of geographical items by their location on the map of the globe, considering the successive changes of political borders. The same place may depend on distinct capital or metropolis at different times in history.
