Upgrade StorageWhat is the sort order used to sort collections?
I'm trying to push one of my collections to the end of the list, so was thinking of prepending a character that would sort after lower case Z. I tried the tilde (~), but found it sorts before Latin characters in Zotero. I know "zz" is a possibility, but I'd like to know if there are any other options and it'd be useful to know the sort order.
But I use the Greek and Cyrillic letters to push a collection to the end of the list, to create for example an Archive collection. But
Аrchive(with the Cyrillic letter) cannot be returned when searching forArchive(with the Latin letter), as you can see by searching it on this page.You can test more characters in this list for example:

If the character is from a right-to-left script, it is used for sorting when placed at the beginning, but it displays on the right in Zotero 7 Beta. [It seems that it is still displayed on the left in Zotero 6.]

You can also use signs put below the letters:

You can use these tricks to have collections with a name starting with an emoji (that would usually be put at the beginning) to be pushed to the bottom:

In this way, I can keep the "A" in Archive so that I can still search it.
The ordering and display of special characters may depend on your system and the language you are using in Zotero. So you can test a few things to decide what works for you.
