Description
Created attachment 337122 A sequence of screenshots showing the artist sorting problem
The artist list sorting has errors which can be explained by spurious removal of stop words. See the attached screenshot compilation. Note the following:
- 'Arcade Fire' is in the position of 'cade Fire'
- 'Angel Olsen' is in the position of 'gel Olsen'
- 'Animal Collective' is in the position of 'imal Collective'
- 'Autechre' is in the position of 'techre'
- 'Arvo Part' is in the position of 'vo Part'
It looks like an incorrect regular expression that is meant to match stop words at the start of the artist name. Notice that 'The Antlers' does not suffer the problem, because the name is protected by 'The' occurring as the first word
