EmulationStation very odd behavior on "jump to"
-

In collection all games, if either of The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants [NES] or The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World [NES] are present, then when select menu option "jump to [T]", then it stops at The Simpsons [Arcade].
Note that: when the NES games are present, it doesn't jump to them, but to the Arcade game which is listed first.
"IgnoreLeadingArticles" is set true, and there are plenty of other "The..." titles (and also "S..." titles) that skipped over before reaching "The Simpsons".
If both the "Bart vs." titles are removed, then it correctly skips Simpsons Arcade and The Simpsons: Bartman Meets Radioactive Man [NES] and jumps correctly to Tapper [Atari2600].
If I remove the Arcade, it will jump to the Bart vs. (whichever one is sorted first, when both are present.)
If I rename the Arcade game (in the gamelist), it gets real weird:
It will jump to:
The Simd
The Simpsona
The SimcityIt will skip over Arcade and jump to the NES game if the arcade is called:
The Simc
The Simbsons
The SimaOr if I name it The Simzzz, so it sorts after "Bart vs.", then it stops at Bart vs.
It seems that, for whatever reason, it's stopping at whatever first "The" title appears between Simcity and Simpsons, but nothing that would sort before "Simcity". I can't make any sense of it.
