Since 1936, articles in the UK have been regularly revised, at least 10% of which are revised annually. According to Britannica's website, 46% articles have been updated over the past three years, but according to another Britannica web site, 35% of articles have been updated. The alphabetical order of Micropædia and Macropædia articles follows strict rules. Although diacritical marks and characters other than English are ignored, numeric inputs such as "1812, war etc" are arranged in alphabetical order as if figures are written ("18, 12, war"). Articles with the same name are sorted first by person, sorted by location, and sorted by object. Because the rulers of the same name are listed alphabetically by country, then chronologically, French Charles III preceded British Charles I and was listed as the ruler of England and Ireland in the UK.
