Please tell me I’m not the only one bothered by the exceptions to the English language sorting rules here.

Not so much bothered as wondering what went wrong. Can your sekrit skills work out why it is sorted so?

Actual spelling errors/typos bother me much more… 😰

“Snusail” sounds like something you’d regret finding on the Internet.

That small section is quite obviously sorted by chest release date, Snowy Owl being the most recently added troop, Serpent the one available for the longest time. 😜

You’re not the only one. It’s been driving my OCD crazy ever since I first noticed it.

Maybe the rules are different for Australian English? 😉

You mean the letters being upside-down? Or overtly aggressive? I haven’t noticed anything like that 😉

Australian English would sort by order of toxicity/lethality I think
