I propose that when sorting and/or using the Ctrl key with a letter to jump to holds, in the Hold Management screen, there be an option to disregard the leading words "A","An", & "The" when the name contains other word(s). That way Ctrl+Q could go directly to A Quiet Place, for instance. I always find it mildly annoying to press Ctrl+T & then have to sort through every single hold that begins with "The" to find e.g. The City Beneath.

It's a very good idea (moddedup). An alternative method would be to index anything that begins with A, An or The in the form that an index would. The City Beneath would be listed as City Beneath, The. It's bit easier :)

Yeah, that's what I meant. :blush
Thanks for the point(s); I've testers to repay.
