Noticed an odd alphabetization issue when ordering books by title (v0.6.5).
* Books that begin with "The " alphabetize by the second word (as they should).
* Books that begin with "Thexxx" (e.g., There, Theory, or Theme) alphabetize correctly by the first word, whatever it happens to be.
* Books that begin with "The Thexxx" alphabetize by the "xxx". The "The" is removed twice. For example, "The Theory of Atlantis" will alphabetize as "ory of Atlantis" rather than "Theory of Atlantis".

The same exact pattern/error occurs with titles beginning with "A Axxx" (which is improper English, but still) and with "An Anxxx".
Will be fixed in the next release. You can use the command
