Indeed. That makes me feel like a Dalek looking up at a staircase.

1) Add the tagValue setting Title.value.sort={TitleSort}
2) Add TitleSort to itemTags
3) Add a tag TITLESORT=estro armonico to the file

You can repeat step 3 for other problem titles and you can use a similar approach for other tags such as ALBUM.

Ah. It's the concept of the three step process that defeated me. I can see that this general approach could handle all my odd cases, particularly those that get 'alphagrouped' into '#'. Thanks very much.

Is there any chance that something like your very useful example could find its way into the User Guide? There is already a somewhat similar example for ArtistSort, but the title and wording suggested to me that it was particular to the Artist tag.
