Inconsistent album sort order in Roon ARC and Roon due to apostrophes (ref#FOAROY)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· App interface looks or behaves oddly

· I notice a glitch in the sort order in Arc. I have albums my "Brother" Jack McDuff. In Roon, the albums sorted by Name are in the M's as they should be. In Arc, they are at the very front of my library. I suspect this is because "Brother" is surrounded by apostrophes. This may be working as designed, but it is different from the Roon app. I think they should be consistent.

In Roon ARC, check your ‘Name for artist sorting’ (via gear icon) - it might be on First Name.

Hey @David_Gibson,

Thanks for writing in and for sharing your report! I suspect what @RalphH has mentioned above to the case here, as it’s typically set on ‘First name’ automatically.

Let us know if this solves it for you! Thank you for the suggestion on this @RalphH :raising_hands:

You’re absolutely right. I’m pretty sure I had this set up right originally, but I often need to reinstall Arc so I’m guessing the default sort order came back. Thanks for setting me straight.

Hi @David_Gibson

Glad that sorted it out, thanks for confirming.
