In Main -> Browse -> Misc Sports -> Names -> O
The entries between 'O Se, Mark' and 'Oates, Corey' near the top seem to be out of alphabetical order, and you can see at least 'O'Brien, Parry' is duplicated. I'm not sure how to go about reporting this as an Inaccuracy. I have a screenshot, but haven't figured out how to post pics in this forum.

Computers use a numerical representation of each letter. There is a table that you can find is you google "ASCII table" that will show you the order that is used.
In case you don't know "ASCII" is pronounced "ask-key".
Some people have been known to call computerized alphabetical sorts "ascii-betical" because of some weirdness that occurs.

Look carefully, the puncuation marks after the "O" are not the same mark. The two different marks are grouped together in the listing.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

So is there a way to submit an IR for the 'tick' difference in the alphabetization or does one need to be filed for each card instance that uses one vs. the other to clean it up?

I took care of Parry. I submitted a request to Admin to fix the one in Misc Sports that didn't have another PID.
I fixed the others in Misc Sports.
For this, just drop me a note when you find these. I can remedy them quickly.

We have a user with a funky keyboard, who submits checklists with that odd apostrophe. I remember changing a ton of Peter O'Brien cards a couple years back, due to the same issue. I assumed the member was from another country where the punctuation marks might be different. I'm not complaining or calling anyone out; just pointing out that the site doesn't recognize that mark as the same character.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

vrooomed has graciously taken care of all he could and reported the rest to Admin.
