I am editing an article about education in India and the author wants to reference Swami Vivekananda. In the references section, should I alphabetize it under "S" or "V?" I understand that Swami is an honorific title, but I don't know if their Swami and the name following then becomes their whole title.
So, is it
Vivekanada, S. (year). Work.
or
Swami Vivekananda (year). Work
Jenny Moore Martin
I'd say Swami Vivekanada (year). Work.

Yes. I was thinking it has to be something like Queen Elizabeth or Madonna.
