Thanks very much

The challenge with sorting titles on leading non-alpha characters is a more complex issue because of the way I'm generating anchors in the generated HTML, and how/where such titles would be listed in the 'Books By Title' section.
For example, all titles are currently coerced to starting with A-Z, and the corresponding sections are named "Books beginning with 'A'", "Books beginning with 'B'", etc.
How would you propose listing titles starting with non-alpha characters? "Books beginning with '1'"? "Books beginning with non-alpha characters"? I'm trying to keep the output as clean as possible.

I would be quite happy with that.
It is how I handled such titles in my Calibre2web script.
It seemed more logical to look for a book titled "1632" (a favorite title of mine) under books starting with '1' than under 'S'.
I do not know how you want to handle non-ASCII characters (I am thinking of non-ASCII fonts here such as letters with accents), but again if possible it would seem logical to allow such sub-divisions as well if the user has set their metadata this way. I can understand that other constraints in the way the indexes are generated may make this not practical.
I agree this type of preference may not be what others want which is why I solicited some feedback.
