How to modify calibre text sort algorithm

Hello all.

Most of my books are in spanish and so I have titles with beginning exclamation and question marks (¿ and ¡). I would like to add that symbols to the list of articles to be ignored when sorting text but I'm getting an error.

The items I'm adding are:

u'¿\\s+'),
u'¡\\s+'),

The error is:

calibre, version 4.9.1

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\preferences\tweaks.py", line 535, in apply_tweak
File "<string>", line 93
u'¿\\s+'),
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The arrow points the + symbol after the s.

Of course someone would think of removing such caracters from the title but we are talking about a few thousand books. Any help would be welcome. Thanks.
