Description Daniel McClung 2009-01-12 00:54:52 UTC 
Steps to repeat: Include an artist or album with quotation marks (") at the beginning of the name.

Expected behavior: Artist "Weird Al" Yankovic should appear under W in the artist view (actually, he should probably appear under Y, but that's a whole other sorting issue that's already been discussed)

Actual behavior: "Weird Al" Yankovic actually appears near the top of the list, sorted by " instead of W (or Y).


Please note that "Weird Al" Yankovic is how the name has always been officially written, and is what MusicBrainz uses.  I'm, sure there are other valid cases as well.

Upcoming versions of Banshee will support user-defined "sort names" for artist names (see bug 499650). For example, you could set it to "Yankovic, Weird Al". If you are importing metadata from MusicBrainz, this tag will already be set and should work as expected with no further configuration.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the original sortname bug report, since the patch there should solve this bug as well.
