Default Sort Names Inconsistant With Custom Sort Names
ISSUE
The new sort name feature appears to have different sorting parameters than the default game name sorting. If a game name has certain punctuation such as ' it will be ignored by the default sorting, but using it in a custom sort name will automatically move it above the default names. Additionally numbers beyond single digits are not counted in the custom sort name, and instead are sorted individually left to right.

STEPS
Find a game with an ' in the title by default i.e. "Game's Name A"
Add a custom sort name with an ' i.e. "Game's Name B"
Add a custom sort name with a double digit or higher number

RESULTS
Game's Name B
Game's Name A
-
Game's Name 1
Game's Name 10
Game's Name 2

EXPECTED
Game's Name A
Game's Name B
-
Game's Name 1
Game's Name 2
Game's Name 10

For the numbers:
You have to use "01", "02", ..., "10", "11", etc.

For the ' character:
You probably need to add that as part of the sorting name for all the games of the same series. Then they should be sorted as you want, right?

This is not a bug, search is alphabetical and there are no plans to switch to a slower method. Use the "02"-style naming as suggested above for lists longer than 9.
