In cases where a list of related titles appears (such as a product catalog) it is very tiresome when the distinguishing feature of each item appears at the end of the name. Some examples:

  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 1: The Bad Beginning (1999)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 2: The Reptile Room (1999)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 3: The Wide Window (2000)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 4: The Miserable Mill (2000)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 5: The Austere Academy (2000)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 6: The Ersatz Elevator (2001)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 7: The Vile Village (2001)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 8: The Hostile Hospital (2001)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 9: The Carnivorous Carnival (2002)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 10: The Slippery Slope (2003)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 11: The Grim Grotto (2004)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 12: The Penultimate Peril (2005)
  • Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events - Book 13: The End (2006)

Such titling makes AT browsing of the titles quite infuriating, especially on a screen reader (not to mention the problems with truncation when there is limited space). The following list expresses the same items using "front loading" or "little endian" naming, and I dare say is more friendly to AT users:

  • Book 1: The Bad Beginning (1999) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 2: The Reptile Room (1999) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 3: The Wide Window (2000) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 4: The Miserable Mill (2000) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 5: The Austere Academy (2000) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 6: The Ersatz Elevator (2001) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 7: The Vile Village (2001) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 8: The Hostile Hospital (2001) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 9: The Carnivorous Carnival (2002) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 10: The Slippery Slope (2003) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 11: The Grim Grotto (2004) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 12: The Penultimate Peril (2005) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Book 13: The End (2006) - Lemony Snicket - A Series of Unfortunate Events

Is there a way we could express "front loading" of the distinguishing part of lists like this as an outcome?
