I don't know Dutch and if the following question does not make a sense,
please correct me.

I guess Meijer/Meyer is a last name.  Then which of the following is is
considered correctly sorted in the phone book?  Or are all three
incorrect?

i)			ii)			iii)

last	first		last	first		last	first	
------	---------	------	---------	------	---------
Meijer	A		Meyer	B		Meijer	A
Meyer	B		Meyer	D		Meijer	C
Meijer 	C		Meijer 	A		Meyer 	B
Meyer   D		Meijer  C		Meyer   D

Thanks in advance.
