But seriously...

Observe the following:

2099 Alpha
2099: Manifest Destimy
2099 Omega
2099 Sketchbook
2099 Special (Panini Italy)
2099 Special: The World of Doom
2099 Unlimited
2099: World of Tomorrow

This uses the mangled-for-better-behavior AlphabeticTitle field, which among other things is punctuation agnostic. Notice how the ':' is ignored.

The sorting happens for:

Title order in the Titles dialog
Title Left and Title Right buttons
Find for Titles that contain "2099"
Find for QtyInStock > 0 (manual My Comics search)
Collection Overview Report
Collection Report

Now, I personally don't have all these titles. Of the ones I do have, this is the order I get with a Find on the top-listed hard-coded "My Comics":


2099 Alpha
2099 Special: The World of Doom
2099 Unlimited
2099: Manifest Destiny
2099: World of Tomorrow


Ooops. That darn ':'.
Also, Series/Volume ordering.

I have no idea where it placed my issues of "The 'Nam", which should be as "Nam", but is not there, not at the begining nor at the end with a possible ', not at "The"...
