To answer your question, "DEFAULTSORT" templates are placed in articles to apply a sort key to many categories at once, especially articles of real-life people or characters with a surname or a last name in their title. I usually see users sorting those articles by their last names. Articles with only one name in their title (e.g. Nemo, Rihanna) do not need "DEFAULTSORT" templates since the name of their article has only one name. Ming-Na does not need a "DEFAULTSORT" template because the title of her article is already Ming-Na. Wen is not in the name of the article.
