I looked up Friday Night in San Francisco and found it reviews saying it was under the band name

AL DI MEOLA, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, PACO DE LUCÍA,

which will take you to a location for this "group" with three albums listed.  However when I try and find them under the alphabetical listings, they are nowhere I can see.
Not under Al Di Meola... or Di Meola, Al, John McLaughlin...   Am I just overlooking something?  The mystery is killing me.

I was trying to figure out where to post the DVD of McLaughlin Delucia and Coryell.  Since they never did any albums, I guess it'll have to go under McLaughlin.

¿Where's Joe Zawinul?

Mysteries of the computer sorting universe!

Interesting.
In my opinion, we can't say the order of Al Di Meola, J. McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia is mutually fix, because, if you observe the covers, all three get swap the first name position on each album.

And, though it is conventional, I hardly think anyway that you can say Meola, Al Di, when you have a band of three artists. All should definitely have their cursive name. Thus nothing like "Meola, J. McLaughlign, Paco De Lucia...Al Di"

Should be think of naming (including/formatting) this to "The Guitar Trio", despite that it's a name brought in by Coryell?

If no for "Guitar Trio, The", I would put them under A, without formatting Meola's first name.

Thus

Letter A: Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia

Can't exceptions work, we're not talking an artist, we're talking three.

And I don't think The Guitar Trio is that official. Coryell founded the trio with McLaughling and De Lucia with this name, but, otherwise, I think it's more common the way it is now. Even covers use the three names.

Better to ask Dick too, when you see him around.

San Francisco has it "Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia"
Passion, Grace and Fire has it "John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia"
The Guitar Trio has it "Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin"

what to expect?

She said his actual last name is DIMEOLA, with the participation particle ("Di") included, as opposed to other languages where the particle does not belong to the last name.

That's good, and, well, Di Meola's solo work is under D.

But doing the same for the trio just seems weird.

"Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia, Al"
