display of artists

Hello,

Does anyone know where I can find a description of the "logic" used in the iPod's ordering of Artists? I have a 20GB Windows model, 2nd gen. I've noticed that the iPod is smart enough to ignore "The" in the artist "The Police", and alphabetizes accordingly. However, I have tried to name artists using a leading "." or "~", but the iPod seems to ignore those characters as well.

I have a bunch of one-hit-wonder artists, that I would prefer to have listed at the end of my Artists List. Short of naming them with leading "ZZZs", does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you,
Paul K. Couch

for all the one hit wonder songs, put "one hit wonder" for artist tag and put the artist's name under the album tag. then all your one hit wonders will sort very nicely. who cares what their album title was, since you only have one of their songs.
