Alphabetical doesn't match the Desktop

When I list all the Bibles by title on my Desktop and on my iPad the order is different. The Desktop ignores leading entries "The" and "A" while the iPad does not. This shows up particularly when trying to list Bibles. Note that "the 365 day devotional Commentary" did ignore "the" in sorting which I don't understand.

    I am not seeing this behaviour - please post screenshots (use the paperclip icon in the forum editor) showing what you are describing.

    I am not seeing this either, but it seems to me that I have perhaps seen this before (but not recently). A screenshot and more details about your particular installation would be helpful.

    Yes, but it seems like the issue is on the server side. For many years, mobile ignored user-titling (another issue), and sorted oddly. Sometimes it'd be 'half-ies' ... it'd start accepting user-titles and then give up, with odd sorting. This sounds bad, but the solution was/is re-installing. It re-reads the library.  I did that with both my mobile apps.
