I believe (I'm not certain on this) that Tony has said they will be implementing an option for this.

I didn't. No one has even hinted that this behavior will change. All that's happened so far is that some people complained about it on the BBS.

But it doesn't, it puts ~ at the end of the alphabet.

If you use a hyphen (-) instead of a tilde (~), then they will show up at the beginning. That's what I've done in my playlists.
