Hey folks! I've been having an issue on some category pages where articles aren't completely organized into alphabetical order. I'm not sure if there is maybe special formatting on certain articles or titles that's causing confusion. Is there anything I can do? This is for the Japanese Feature Phones wiki. Thanks!

there is a magic word or function, but I can't remember its name, it's usually used to omit "the" from sorting
does Pengo have something unusual in figure brackets ({{...}}) in its source code? (for easier navigation code highlight is handy, enabled via blue marker icon)

This sort key information is really useful though!

Oh let me look

Yeah this category page looks fine as well. All I've got are a few links in a bullet point list

can you link it?
