I forgot to address this. You are right that ideally marc-posts with initial
characters that should not be considered when sorting should have a proper
value for non-filing characters. In practice though when either have a large
collection of biblios, or do not have complete control over imported records
this becomes very cumbersome to handle since this value has to be correctly set
on each record. Also some fields which you might want to sort on don't have
this indicator available.
