Turned out to be quite simple. I used a double A and the folder sorts to the top of the list on the Mac, iDevices and Apple TV. Now I have my library all set up just the way I like it.

Hi,

try using a space, or multiple spaces.  With media titles, there is a sorting tab which works well to deal with these sorts of sorting challenges, but it's not available for folders or playlists.

  I want to sort some files in iTunes so a particular folder of music is at the top within a genre. Numbers/digits are at the bottom so no good. A name that starts with "A" or "The" are ignored and are sorted by the next word. Example...

   The Apple Story.
   A Game of Chess.

  "A" and "The" are ignored. Is there a way to cheat this sorting so I can put the folder at the top without drastically changing the folder name?
