It's not perfect, since Twenty will sort before Two but it's how I've always done it.

You could take care of that with something along these lines:

Tw 02.0
Tw 02.1
Tw 20

---------------

True, thanks for the idea. I do something similar within the 20s, but it could be generalized more using just Tw. It's not like is a huge number of titles...perhaps 2 or 3 dozen that start with numbers.

I do it the other way around. Everything that starts with a number or a word that represents a number will be sorted under a digital number. While my largest number is only 4400 I went the safe route and padded for a million.

Now I have

0000001st Knight
0000002 Broke Girls
0000002.5 Men
0000007 Samurai
0000011:14
0000024
0004400

Should I ever get One Million B.C. that won't pose a problem.

I've been considering switching to this as well as it more closely matches the on-line list. I don't have One Million BC, but I do have 100 Million BC...B-movie goodness.
