look at:
http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=!Deladap&type=artist

Each artist has additional to the "Name" a "Sorting Name"

ID3 2.4 supports the frames
TSOA Album sort order
TSOP Performer sort order
TSOT Title sort order
see: http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames

We should extend the Mixxx library with those frames.

For my feeling this should become hidden colums and if you sort to Artist the sorting should sort to TSOP column.

A nice extension would be, to look up http://musicbrainz.org if the TSOP is missing.

This might be a solution for the problem if you have Tracks with "!Deladap" and "Deladap" (without "!") as artist in Your library.
