Album artwork display order not strictly alphabetical

In 6.0a2 (and 6.0a1) the Browse Artwork page shows albums in a different order than Browse Albums. The first five albums I have under Browse Albums are: 1 #1 Record 10 Cent Wings 1st Imaginary Symphony for Nomad 2 Whereas under Browse Artwork, the albums I get first are: #1 Record 'Every Last Romance' (This Is) What We Call Progress 1 10 Cent Wings All of this is understandable, with the non-alpha characters listed before A-Z, though it is different from the ordering under Browse Albums. The end of the list is much weirder. My last five albums in Browse Albums are: You Made Me Realise You Make Us Go Young God Records Compilation 2000 A.D. Your Favorite Music ZeRo-oNe-INFINITY In Browse Artwork, I have the same five in a row, but then I have 9 covers listed after "ZeRo-oNe-INFINITY": "a tall tale storyline" "a little more Haven Hamilton, please" Bloweyelashwish De Gainsbourg a Gainsbarre iTunes Exclusive - EP III ...or you could just go through your whole life and be happy anyway PTTM xuvetyn I checked back to see if another album I had whose title started with '...' was correct, and "...Smile's OK" was in its correct spot after "Smile" and before "Something About Airplanes" Also related to this, all of my albums starting with "The" have their artwork alphabetized under "T" instead of ignoring the "The" like my server settings specify. These also show up correctly in Browse Albums. This has been tested after three wipes and rescans, and on both Default and Fishbone skins.
with placeholders seems ok, without placeholders is probably not being sorted with the same criteria as it is built from a different list.
Steve - I've fixed this in subversion change 2294. It will show up in tonight's builds at 1am US/Pacific.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
