- you can exlude certain terms at the beginning of a title from being used for sorting under Library Settings - Articles To Ignore. I changed the default setting and ignore only "the". So "The Cuckoo" is sorted under C instead of under T
- terms in brackets are excluded automatically, e.g. "(La) Cucaracha" is sorted under C
- certain special characters e.g. quotes ' and " are ignored during sorting
- Library Settings - Normalize Characters specifies if Ä, Ö, Ü is sorted like A, O, U
In case all these still don't do what you want you can overwrite the sorting with an entry in a song's "Sort Title". So "1919 Rag" can be displayed as "MCMXVIIII Rag" by setting the title accordingly but can be sorted under N by setting the sort title to "Nineteen Nineteen Rag"
@Mike: please change sorting only in case of really important reasons, it would confuse long time users
Thank you for this!

This makes sense.
