SlimServer is probably stripping the character when creating its sort
field for the artist.  You can tag these files with an ARTISTSORT field
of any string you like.  Only used for sorting, these ARTISTSORT values
are never displayed.  Prepend a few z's to the artist name.  For
example:

ARTIST=Johnny Cash
ARTISTSORT=zzzzJohnny Cash

ARTIST=Merle Hagard
ARTISTSORT=zzzzMerle Hagard

Or, if you prefer last name first sorting:

ARTIST=Johnny Cash
ARTISTSORT=zzzzCash Johnny

ARTIST=Merle Hagard
ARTISTSORT=zzzzHagard Merle
