Sure, but it doesn't happen automatically, so it's not "just do [..]". You need to think about some of these edge cases.
I wrote a simple music library/player a bunch of years ago and ran in to some of these issues. I never did figure out how to deal with the band named "" in a sane way.
- thrdbndndn 5y agoYou can "just do" the default string sorting. The system (or programming language you're using, etc.) always have a way to sort them by default. And it doesn't have to be in A to Z. It could be (and IMO, should be) in "special" which such initial-index catalog typically already have.
