Sorting

From WikiThing

Every language and style has its particular sorting rules, and authors will invariably try to get around those rules in some new and creative way to make their title distinctive or funny. Here are some tips for forcing idiosyncratically labeled information to sort correctly:

How do I make LT correctly sort and order a title beginning with an article ("a", "the", "an") used as a noun or in some other non-article way?

If you put a two "pipe" characters before the "A" like this:

||A is for ...

then LibraryThing knows it should be sorted on the full title.
