I can't remember if the program took into account skip digits or not on the title search. Looking at the code repository changes doesn't seem to indicate that it did. However, I did make some changes that consolidated some of the sorting routines -- so it's possible. Either way, it's a good idea and I've added it to the code base so on next update, this should happen.

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] Sort by title and articles
When I sort a file of records by title, it appears MarcEdit (version 5.5.4246.36599, 8/17/2011 9:37:36 PM) is ignoring the skip character value of the 245 2nd indicator. I may be misremembering, but I thought previous versions of the software ignored articles/made use of the skip character value when sorting. An example appears at the end of this message.
Thank you for your assistance,
