ATS alpha sort uses invisible (original) title?

I just did an Advanced Title Search, sorted alphabetically, which yielded this result:

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?my_ratings=restrict&view=simple&sort=alpha,asc&count=250

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And looking at the first title offered an explanation:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080310/

 

 

 

 

A little farther:

What is Black Tights doing between "-But" and "100"?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053726/

 

 

 

 

ATS should NOT use one title for sorting and another for displaying. Pick 1 title, and use it for both.

Well, the displayed titles depend on your settings or location. If the display should always match the alphabetical sorting, the alphabetical sorting would also have to depend on the user.

Sounds right to me: he alphabetical sorting would also have to depend on the user.
