[Kavita] Idea / Feature Submission: remove non-whitespace punctuation/standardize case for sorting

[LegendaryLass]

Idea Description

Hi! Since you have now reversed your stance on leading articles in the sort fields, can you extend that thought and also consider the following (some may be in place, some may not):

• Removing non-whitespace punctuation. X-Men Forever and X-Men: Four Heroes (made up examples) should sort next to each other, for example
• standardize case. SWORD and Sword and Sorcery should sort next to each other. Probably this will need to happen behind the scenes rather than in the actual Sort Title field (as in, the sorter should upper() the Sort Title field, then sort; rather than storing the Sort Title as all uppercase)
