What's up with the advanced title search feature?
For example? How is this list considered alphabetically ordered? You weirdly took the alphabetical sorting filter from the Your Ratings page years ago. Still don't understand why that streamlining was necessary.

@Tsarstepan Thanks for the feedback. The alphabetic sort order is based on the original title which is not necessarily the same as the local title for you -- sorry for the confusion. Advanced title search is running some of the oldest software on the site, and so it is not aware of local title display settings. This will be fixed once advanced title search is migrated to the newer IMDb technology.
From the screen-grab above, it looks like you have English preferences. If you change the "Title display country / region" option on https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general to "Original" (first item in the menu) then the sort order will make more sense (aside from extended characters outside A-Z sinking to the bottom or top, but that's another story).
Hope this helps.

It's sorting by original title, and special characters come after Z.
For Wolf Children (2012), Ôkami kodomo no Ame to Yuki
For The Night Is Short, Walk on Girl (2017), Yoru wa mijikashi aruke yo otome
