Ignore Tag

[Mike1878]

Is it possible to use the ignore.sort tag to ignore special characters like " or [ at the beginning of a band name?

The ignore.sort option doesn't handle this but you can do it using the approach described in this section.

I would be interested in examples of band names that start with " or [.

Band names? I don't know. But there's an album by Frank Zappa called " (= Apostrophe).

Here are twenty obscure bands beginning with '['

a less obscure band using punctuation as name is !!!

The latter would also be sorted as !!!, so ignore.sort would not be relevant.

The former is indeed obscure but it's reasonably straightforward to add ignore.sort support for this and similar cases, so I will do this in the next update.
