# Sort order for all chars (invisible needed in case the collection is 1 char long)

# And on the Touch... (Note that you shouldn't be able to put a leading/trailing whitespace in a collection name, be it via the default UI or Collections Manager, that's why I put it in the invisible list on the Touch).

FWIW, I'm using ~ on the K3 for my 'Currently Reading' collection (=> '~Reading~'), and - the Touch (=> '-Reading-'), and it works pretty well. |
Well it worked on some reader I had way back when. So I continued to use it and never noticed it failing. Regardless, the scheme I'm using now to ensure top of the alphabetic sort list is simply
1. [collection name] as in
1. Currently Reading. Clunky but it works.
