Yep, it's more a bug report than a feature request. :-)

E.g. the author is "Haruki Murakami (春樹·村上)", so it would be sorted
as "(春樹·村上), Haruki Murakami" instead of "Murakami, Haruki". But it
should be IMO in an alphabetical order.

title), but have no internal function to filter (out) all the
duplicates. Am I wrong?
So it would be nice to have such a function.
