Hello all,
 
I sometimes accidentally add initial spaces to lines, and this in turns leads to unexpected behaviour when sorting alphabetically. So, it would be great to have an option to disregard initial spaces when sorting, or else a way to automatically remove initial spaces. Thoughts?
 
Thanks,
Lucas

*possibly* related:
I have a problem with getting an initial space when adding info in a newly created item - this only happens with one particular field.
Just thought I'd mention it in case you have a similar problem
 

I think that instead of adding another option for sorting, a good "search and replace" tool with Regex support should be implemented (so you could get rid of these extra spaces in a flash)
 
See this (old) suggestion of mine.
