Its best to only use prefix characters that have a definite sort order so that you can control the sort order.
A nice thought, but even using the characters highlighted as definite sort order, I'm still getting unexpected results after I use Calibre and its plugin to edit Kindle Collections. All my collections sorted perfectly, as expected; I plug in the Kindle, add some books and place them in collections, restart the Kindle, and boom! all logic goes out the window.
