In the Music app, on MacOS and iOS, the alpha-numerical order for display doesn't match.
MacOS does: special characters / numbers / alphabet
iOS does: alphabet / numbers (and completely ignores special characters, just goes with what follows)
In MacOS Music example:
& new music
1 Depeche Mode
2 Beck
Amos Lee
Beatles
Led Zeppelin
U2
In iOS Music example:
Amos Lee
Beatles
Led Zeppelin
& new music
U2
1 Depeche Mode
2 Beck
So this has bugged me for years. I've reported it several times to Apple and today I was basically told on the phone that that is just how it is in iOS. As many efforts as Apple has made over the years to bring the two closer together, this one surprises me and I'm not convinced it couldn't be aligned if Apple wanted to.

Years ago the Bug Reporter was a great little tool and Apple would 9 out of 10 times respond to a post made via by Dev account. But ever since it switched over the Feedback Assistant I've not gotten a single response or acknowledgement. The silence started in 2019. Anyone else finding the same or am I doing something wrong here?!?
Each MacOS has over the last few years has made it harder and harder to parse down the unnecessary fonts in the System folder to the point where Big Sur has no work around to remove any of them. While I can recognize that the trade off has been a more secure operating system which I'm certainly not suggesting Apple doesn't continue improving, really would like control back over these system fonts in some way.
Some may think this is no big deal, but as a designer who is in fonts every day for multiple clients and using font management software to activate and deactivate fonts regularly, having a terribly long list of fonts always present hampers workflow.
Ideally via Terminal there would be a way to unlock functionality in the Font Book app Apple pre-loads to unlock the disable function under system fonts. I know which fonts I need to have my system run so maybe we can get a way to control these back some day??
