Hi, is there any way to exclude parentheses when we sort per title?

For example, if the the title is **Give me more (Original Mix)**, i would like to sort the title as **Give me more Original Mix**

In the column definition enter for "Sort by" a scripting function to replace the characters you want to ignore, e.g.  
`$replace(%title%,'(',,')',)`
