Also the screendump seems to show that one problem is titles starting with digits? Perhaps that is the problem?

I don't think there is any way to make calibre ignore leading digits in titles?

One way to handle digits could be to spell them out. Change a title like "3 marriages..." to "Three marriages...".

For changes to the title sort to take effect, the title has to be edited. Not sure if it is enough to update the Author. Haven't tested. Could it be done by some bulk metadata search and replace? First add something to the end of each title, then delete it?
