Who to contact to get Gyaszjelentes folder names be properly alphabetized?
Problem: when you click on a particular letter, let's say "S", it will give you a list of all the films, starting with the first name on that film.
Unfortunately, whoever sorted this did not take into consideration the 'nemes nevek', so you end up with the list out of order, e.g.,
N. Szücs, János
P. Szabó, László
Saáci István Ernő
Zs. Szabó, János
INSTEAD OF PROPERLY:
Saáci István Ernő
N. Szücs, János
Zs. Szabó, János
P. Szabó, László

There are also typos (such as Tatács instead of Takács) that cause mis-sorting -- but at least they sort accented letters almost correctly now. (Early on, they applied Scandinavian sorting across the board, which puts Á after Zs.)
I have never succeeded in getting any waypoints corrected, not even the egregiously-wrong ones in the 1869 census (which file Vértestolna, Komárom county as Tolna, Tolna, for example), so I don't know if there even is anyone to report such errors to.
A workaround: the catalog page (https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1246611) is correctly sorted (because it's by film number, and filming was done in correct alphabetical order).

Thanks----that link is magnificent, as it contains one of the films that I found was missing from the 'S' section
