Even a fictious name, David Bowie should be sorted in Bowie, not in David.
I don’t think there should be difference in sort names just because it’s a
real name or not.
Same for fictional characters, Sherlock Holmes is sorted in H.

I wrote that the traditional way to sort fictitious names like
Scrooge McDuck is on the whole name, as Musicbrainz explicitly did
earlier, and that it's bad that when Musicbrainz intended to change
that and sort as real names, with RFC 203, it did it by just deleting
that part of the guide, so
It seems straightforward to me. Just sort the names as you would any other
name., last name, first name.
So if a character doesn’t have a last name, then it would just be treated the
same as a single name performance artist.

I think you're conflating two issues:
fictitious names vs names of fictional

I would probably sort Mickey Mouse as Mickey Mouse, mostly because I
didn't think Mouse there was supposed to represent anything similar to a
surname (does it? :/). Same as I wouldn't sort Ghostface Killah as
Killah, Ghostface. But I'd sort an actual fictional *name* like I would a
real one. To be
I definitely support using traditional sorting of names regardless of whether
th
subject is real or fictional.
This is formulated in an unfortunate way, since the traditional way
*is* what I wrote -- to sort fictional names without any name
reversal. You will find it hard to find any book
