Comment (by iandunn):

 Replying to [comment:7 mbootsman]:
 > We are experiencing some attendees that add non-alpha characters to
 their name to be on top of the attendeelist. Adding a `order=random`
 parameter to the camptix shortcode would be very handy.

 I wonder if it'd be better to just trim all non-alpha characters from the
 beginning of the field that's being sorted on, to prevent people from
 doing immature crap like that. That way people could still sort
 alphabetically if they wanted to. We'd have to make sure that accented
 characters, etc weren't removed, though.

 That's probably worth creating another ticket for, though, since it'd be
 outside the scope of this one.
