The challenge with sorting titles on leading non-alpha characters is a more complex issue because of the way I'm generating anchors in the generated HTML, and how/where such titles would be listed in the 'Books By Title' section.

For example, all titles are currently coerced to starting with A-Z, and the corresponding sections are named "Books beginning with 'A'", "Books beginning with 'B'", etc.

How would you propose listing titles starting with non-alpha characters? "Books beginning with '1'"? "Books beginning with non-alpha characters"? I'm trying to keep the output as clean as possible.

Anything that does not start with A to Z get lumped and ASCII sorted into an "Begins with other" .
The examples were good:
I would be looking for 2001 A Space Odyssey
1635: The Cannon Law < figured it out (Sixteen, not One Six)
