Prefixes in Alphabetization

Postby ntruong2H » Sun Mar 05, 2017 11:03 pm

When using prefixes, such as iso- , neo- , sec - , or tert- , do we take these into account when putting the names in alphabetical order? I know when dealing with numerical prefixes, such as di, tri, etc we do not. However, I was wondering if the same rule applies for these? Thank you.

When alphabetizing, we would take iso- and neo- into account, but not sec- or tert-.

Okay thank you! Is there a particular reason for this or is this something to just memorize?
