We’re encountering frequent typographical errors in our lists table.
Far too many entries are being improperly entered with the ‘title’ column containing a leading space (or spaces). I’ve spanked the gals doing the data entry to be more careful, but history has shown that education/threats will not stop the erroneous entries. The result is that entries are missing from search results or are out of sequence in dropdown lists. I dont know if a common function is called to make writes to the lists table, or if there is in-line code scattered over many modules doing the writes. If anyone happens to be working on a related module, adding a one-line edit to strip leading whitespace would be beneficial. Thanks.
