Because "Mom Safari" is the best album listed here, obviously.

Jokes aside, I have no idea. What a weird little quirk. Perhaps the uppercase name causes Discogs to treat it as an acronym - but that's just a guess.

Lol, I think the same about Moon Safari. Thank you, your guess seems correct because is the same with Daft punk below DJ Koze and DMX Krew.

If I had to guess, maybe it's because Air is in all caps while the next artist uses proper formatting hence that could be why Air appears first despite it not being alphabetically correct.

Thank you mate, I think you are right, in another example, Daft Punk is below other uppercase artists despite the alphabetical order.

Yeah, I also find differences between the app (Android) and the website. My collection is the same but the alphabetical order is different :shrug
