'Other than she' v. 'other than her'

Question

Let me ask another silly question. Does 'other than' take the subjective, or objective case, or does it depend? In short, is 'other than she/he etc.' grammatical (or can it be)?

@KateBunting In other words, 'other than she' is pedantically correct, while 'other than her' is informally inaccurate, right? — Sergey Zolotarev, Dec 28 '20 at 22:48

"No one knew the answer other than he" is grammatically correct.

"He knew the answer" is correct, and therefore using "he" in the first expression you give here is correct too ("... other than he").

Your answer is confusing and lacks research. Which first sentence? – fev Dec 29 '20 at 17:29
