So for trainers we might put name=Blacksmith|note=Blacksmith's Name - Blacksmith would appear on the hover and also be the sorting condition

For mob or NPC notes where they don't have an associated service, it would just be name=MobName

Buildings would be the same, where name=BuildingName

"If the NPC in question provides a service, service type trumps NPC name in name parameter; NPC name can be put in the note parameter."

I think the indexing title should come last in the template parameter list. It is more optional than the title, so to speak. Take a look at the first edge case here: w:c:pecoes:Wow. It would make most sense to not have the notes sorted. Instead of somehow turning off sorting, it would be more logical to just not request it. The map notes would simply remain as they are.

On the Stormwind map by contrast, I would suggest to also leave the map notes as they are, but add the sorting component. So this:

would become this:

This order just seems more intuitive to me. I'd also rest easier if I knew for a fact that this indexing routine of mine doesn't mess things up, because it tries to parse stuff it shouldn't ;)
