C16 Chris, I think the reason we don't sort by publisher is because a title may have been released by different software labels. We've seen some publishers selling a first release under one name, the re-release under a different label that they also own, then finally licensing the game out to another publishing house for a compliation.
Sorting by title allows one to find the program in question easier, and without having to find the disk or cassette box in order to determine who published it.
Sorting by language is a bit easier and reflects the software house to a point. Most M&T and Kingsoft releases are in German, most Commodore releases are in English, most Novosoft releases are in Hungarian, for example.
