Bad alpha sort on a title

I recently added the IMAX film "Deep Sea" to the v3.02 database. It sorts alphabetically to the top of the database list, above numbers, etc. There is no obvious hidden special character that I can see that would cause this to sort out of order like this. Any ideas on why this is mis-sorting and how to correct?

Check the Sort Title.

A leading space might not be visible.

Like 8ballMax said; I've noticed a bug (though I thought it was fixed now) where if you enter a new title a specific way it 'forgets' to copy the title you enter into the Sort Title so it always puts it at the top of the list.

Sort Title is on the General Info of the Edit page or on the Personalize page so should be easy to find.

It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

I have had this, and as Karl suggests it is often when you mistakenly have a space before the first letter.
