Banshee music library has some strange automatic sorting behaviour, artists are not simply sorted alphabetically (beginning with the first letter of their names):
* sometimes it tries to sort some artists using their supposed last names, so the first word in the artist's name is somewhat ignored;
* sometimes it ignores "the" article word and sorts the artist name beginning with the second word;
* sometimes artists with non-Latin characters in name get places between Latin-named artists in the list (phonetically-based).

I used the same library left from Banshee 2.0 after upgrading to 2.2 (if the developers have somehow changed auto-sorting rules, this could result in that strange effect).
