When browsing by title in either the JSPUI or the XMLUI, titles which contain punctuation appear at the top of the listing.

As an example, the following list provides an example of the title ordering problems currently in DSpace 1.5.1:

"Why is this title first?": It's because it starts with a quote!
...And this is another title starting with punctuation
200: a title starting with a number
This is a title with no punctuation at the beginning
Why is this title last?: It's because it doesn't start with punctuation!

Instead, we should probably ignore punctuation. So, the real order should be this:

200: a title starting with a number
...And this is another title starting with punctuation
This is a title with no punctuation at the beginning
"Why is this title first?": It's because it starts with a quote!
Why is this title last?: It's because it doesn't start with punctuation!
