But that's another dogwash, I'm sure.

The Raymond M. Smullyan list had the sort order:
1 "The Chess Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes"
2 "The Chess Mysteries of the Arabian Knights"
3 "The chess mysteries of sherlock holmes"
I almost missed it.
Try using the "filter works by keyword" search box. In my experience, it helps immeasurably with the sorts of problems you are talking about, especially since they spiffed up the search function.
Makes the list to get to the bottom of much shorter as well.

It would be great if books on the "merge editions" page sorted without respect to beginning articles.
With authors who have largish book lists (I've been working on Niven and Pratchett, for example), remembering to combine all the combinations like "Mote in God's Eye" with "The Mote in God's Eye" is made a lot harder by the scrolling up and down in takes to check every "the" title against its "non-the" counterpart. I haven't looked yet to see if "a" and "an" are as problematic.
It would also be nice if leading articles always won in picking the deafault name; I'm sure that wouldn't be right 100% of the time, but it would probably be a win over majority-wins based on my small sampling.
