How bizarre is that? It makes no sense!
I don't use this plugin or a Kindle, but it looks like it is sorting on alphabet ignoring the special charaters. If you read the first post under the customization details you will see the following.
Quote:
Prefix:
  • Choose text to add to the start of collection names to allow sorting
  • You can change the prefix once the collection is created
  • For example: "_" or "~" or ":" or "__" - force collection names to appear at the start of sort By Title. Don't include quotes (") in any of the fields unless you need them.
  • You can use more than one character to allow indenting ("_", "__", "___")
  • Leaving the prefix blank will sort collections by title along with books - works best if just using Collections view
  • Sort order on the Kindle is not straightforward. The plugin attempts to sort titles exactly as they'll show up on the Kindle 3 when you use View collections or see them in the detailed report, but this may not always be accurate.
    • These characters are useful for sorting and will be sorted in this order: _`^~'([{$+<=>|"
    • The full order of the characters used when sorting by Title on the Kindle 3 is: - _,;:!?/.`^~'"()[]{}@$*&#%+<=>|0-9a-z (case is ignored)
    • You should avoid using a comma (",") to avoid issues with import into comma separated custom columns

      But the following characters are invisible to the sort order: -?/]#.\'\\*})&:@%;"!,
I think if you can wrap your head around this section you will be able to get it to work the way you want.

Good Luck.
