I think, when it comes to Library Order, their is an underlying issue: the title is unchanged.

If calibre is going to have Library Order it should do a full implementation - it should display articles of speech at the end of the title. I am not suggesting that calibre should alter the title on disk, just the manner in which it displays that title.

My first thought whenever I have an alphabetical listing and I see the letter of the first word is something unexpected, I assume my metadata is wrong. I immediately try to correct it - except nothing is wrong with my data! Now, for a single book I encounter this issue once in awhile. But with hundreds or thousands of books, I'm going to see this problem regularly. This constant aggravation is why so many users switch from Library Order to Strictly Alphabetical. I believe it is this inconsistent naming convention in calibre - the partial implementation of Library Order - that I think bothers people most.

If Library Order means that the book is going to be sorted under B, then it should be displayed under B as well, because the title starts with a B word.
