The show “A.P. Bio” is sorting under “P”. I saw a post from 2014 about a show that start with “A.D.” sorting under “D”. That thread was closed, but didn’t really have any more information in it.
Hehe, that was me 
I botched the pull request that time (missing comma, that’ll teach me to make quick edits), so this one should be good to go for A.P. Bio:
I believe this fix prevents my being able to search for new episodes of A.P. Bio. Logs from my search proxy (jackett) indicate that sonarr is trying to search for “AP BIO” instead of “A.P. BIO” or even “A P BIO”.
I would assume that sonarr just tells jackett to search for tvdbid 328534. But since I don’t use jackett and assumptions are bad…
Can you check the sonarr debug logs to see what kind of request it makes to your indexer (jackett)?
Out of curiosity I checked (I don’t actually follow this series) my sonarr debug logs:
3 of my indexers get a request that is a slight variation to this:
18-3-21 08:40:42.9|Debug|Newznab|Downloading Feed https://******.org/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5000&extended=1&apikey=(removed)&offset=0&limit=100&tvdbid=328534&season=1&ep=1
So using the tvdb id.
My 4th indexer gets a request with the series name in it:
18-3-21 08:40:42.9|Debug|Newznab|Downloading Feed https://******.com/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5000,5090,5040,5060,5030&extended=1&apikey=(removed)&offset=0&limit=100&q=A%20P%20Bio&season=1&ep=1
Since %20 is a url-encoded space, sonarr is asking for A P Bio.
Hmm… so now when I search (without changing anything) I seem to be getting results so I think this is a nonissue. HOWEVER, it is searching for “AP BIO”:

@Thirrian Jackett doesn’t support tvdbid, so instead it gets the scene name aliases.
latest update 2.0.0.5162 lists a fix - Fixed: Sorting for series “A.P. Bio”
this update has not fixed it… A.P. Bio is still listed under P and not A
It happens when the series gets refreshed, which should happen within 12h after the update, or manually.
