I'll be damned... I just restarted Calibre to try out your suggestions, and the book I fiddled with now got sorted according to the expression. Confirmed by double clicking all relevant titles and hitting return, thus updating the title without changing. After a restart of Calibre everything sorts perfectly. I exptected the re-order to happen immediately, which clearly was wrong. (On second thought, a re-order of the title column by just clicking on the header might have worked as well.)
Now I'm off to re-draw my avatar a nice, red embarrassed face. Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
