Am I missing something obvious?

If I have two list...
List1 containing
XYZ
BIRDS
BIRDS_2

List2 containing
xyz_me.mp3
birds_me.mp3
birds_2_user.3gp

And I sort both lists, the xyz entries come at the end of the sorts but the birds entries are swapped round.

I get...

List1
BIRDS
BIRDS_2
XYZ

List2
birds_2_user.3gp
birds_me.mp3
xyz_me.mp3

Shouldn't the lists get sorted as

List1
BIRDS
BIRDS_2
XYZ

List2
birds_me.mp3
birds_2_user.3gp
xyz_me.mp3

This is correct. You are not comparing like with like.

BIRDS is a complete search term and therefore comes before the others with extra text in the name.

i.e.

BIRDS
BIRDS_2
BIRDS_A

or

birds
birds_2
birds_a

etc...

That's the reason BIRDS is at the front.
