Is it possible to have as an option, to include the original row with the sort? For instance using the example list you'd end up with a list like this:

* A Chorus Line
* All American
* A Chorus Line
* Fiddler on the Roof
* The King And I
* Oklahoma!
* The King And I

This doesn't seem too useful as the titles are all on the same page. If you have a page for each letter of the alphabet it'll be more useful as some users may associate the title with "the" while others don't. Would this be difficult to do, or maybe it might have performance issues?

I personally can't think of any way to do this without having a double listing of EVERY item. Additionally, this feature doesn't seem to be in a high enough demand to implement. In addition, it would seem you would need to join on a string, and that would be somewhat nasty db wise... That or a rework of the way items are stored in our indexing table.

I could see where this would be helpful though via your example. If more people ask for this feature I will consider working it out, but as it is, I think it's out of scope.
