iPod New Organization Question

[Branden]

Hi guys,
I'm sorry if this has been stated before, but I was unsure after searching a few keywords what exactly I should search for.

It seems that recently (I'm not sure if it's due to a new update or something), my iTunes and iPod have organized things differently. In the artists sort view, it used to put symbols (!!!) and numbers (50 Cent) ahead of the A's. Now it puts them after the Z's.

Also, bands that begin with the word "A", (A Day to Remember) is placed with alphabetically with the word after "A" such as with the D's in the example above, instead of with the A's.

Now, I could get used to this eventually, but I'm used to the old style, and I like it better.
Is there a way to change this back? I've looked through the iTunes Preferences, but haven't seen anything.

I'm running Tiger if that means anything.

It changed in one of the recentish iTunes updates. I agree that the old method is preferable and I can't see why Apple felt the need to fix something that clearly wasn't broken. 🙄

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I take it you're not really sure of a solution?
