You might want to see if you can get a copy of ARMA International's publication titled
Alphabetic Filing Rules
This publication is accredited as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It is an authoritative treatment of standard rules for alphabetical filing with each rule described and illustrated in detail. The standard is designed with space to check or annotate each rule used. This allows the user to document filing decisions to ensure consistency in filing. The book includes appendices, a bibliography, and an index.
