AB,

Take all your Du Châtelet and replace them with Du Châtelet1. Then do a replace with DuChâtelet1. Do this with every variation of the name. Do your sort. Replace each DuChâtelet1 back to Du Châtelet.

Make sense?

We have a few thousand lines like this

Du Châtelet, Emilie
Du Châtelet, Fred
Du Châtelet, Gustave
Duchâtelet, Emilie
Duchâtelet, Fred
Duchâtelet, Gustave

When sorted with BBEdit, they come out in that order, but we want the space to be ignored to produce

Du Châtelet, Emilie
Duchâtelet, Emilie
Du Châtelet, Fred
Duchâtelet, Fred
Duchâtelet, Gustave
Du Châtelet, Gustave

Can this be done?

Are any characters ignored by the BBEdit sort?
