I was puzzled by the alphabetization of Artists in my Music library and then realized it's because Emby treats punctuation marks as prior to letters in sorting. As with ignoring "The" in Artist/Title names, shouldn't Emby ignore leading punctuation marks in Title/Name? And the sorting of numbers in a Name/Title is entirely puzzling.
