Problem

Is there any way to get a sort which ignores punctuation characters in the title? I got a list starting with a page beginning in 'U, then come the pages beginning in A. Not pretty! Ideally there should be a sort mode ignoring all non-letters (in the Unicode sense) Melroch 14:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

You could create an additional column in your output table by applying a regexp to the %TITLE%. you can make that column almost invisible and use a javascripot command to sort the table by this column before it is being displayed.

See DPL Example 023.
