I have a book, "The Patient", whose title_sort is "The Patient" rather than, as expected, "Patient, The". I have tried retyping the entire title, and it makes no difference. I changed the title to "The X" -- the title_sort was "The X". I changed the title to "X", saved it, and then changed it back again -- still the title_sort was wrong.

I then created a new book and set the title to "The Patient", and the title_sort comes out as "Patient, The" as expected. I copied the EPUB into the new book, and then deleted the original book. The title_sort is now correct.

Anyone have any ideas what might have caused this?
