But I noticed that I have track titles that start with quote characters or parentheses. I tried to get the server to ignore double quote by listing it on my ignore list, but this didn't work. And there's also the problem of titles like:

The 'roll'

where the word The needs to be ignored and then the single quote as well.

Is there any way to get sorting to ignore these characters?

It should be possible to ignore any prefix string that doesn't include a comma ',' right brace '}' or leading or trailing spaces.

If you need to ignore a prefix string that includes these characters, you can set a custom sort value as described in this section.

Are you sure? The implication is that if I ask it to ignore "the" then a title starting with "theater" will be sorted under "A", since it would remove the leading "the" leaving "ater". When I want to ignore double quote, there is no white space after the double quote character.

Note that I tried it, writing a sort.ignore={the,an,a,"} and it didn't seem to have any effect on the sorting of the titles starting with ". It does ignore "the", "an", and "a" as desired, so I think my setup is correct.
