Well, if we're getting into complex
searches/sorts: I'd like to be able to exclude
certain words/phrases in a sort. For example,
when sorting book titles it is common to ignore a
preceding "The". I've also read that in some
languages honorifics (if that's the right word)
in names are ignored during a sort, as in "von
Barron" would sort as "Barron" (I stand to be
corrected if I am incorrect on this).
