Sort to ignore leading punctuation?

Post by Eldorage »

I have an Album titled
"V" is for Velvet
The quotes are part of the title.
When I sort by album, this appears at the top, instead if under V.

Is there a way to configure MM to ignore leading punctuation for sorts?

I've been looking for a way to do this, as well. It's the same case for "Weird Al" Yankovic. He shows up at the top of my artists list because there's quotes around "Weird Al." I could take the quotes out, but I'm just that picky about my music library. lol

What about, in those cases, using
Yankovich, "Weird Al"
Velvet, "V" is for
format?

I mean, if your desparate and "have" to have the quotes.
