Sometimes names will also get random formatting like bold, or magic, etc... it's really strange. I never had a sorting problem, I stopped using NTE for a while, came back and now it doesn't work. It use to work back on build 46 that I was using for the longest time.

How do you reproduce the issue?

Heres my config: https://pastebin.com/C173TMj3

Is there an error(s) in the console? Please use: https://pastebin.com

This is because nametags like: &3Bl&bizza&3rd &3 are 17 characters long, where as the max is 16 characters long. NametagEdit will pull the first 16 characters (otherwise the scoreboard will crash everyone online).

It would look something like: &3Bl&bizza&3rd &. Then, when the nametag is formatted by minecraft in the tab, that dangling & will attempt to colorize with the next available character. Example: &3Bl&bizza&3rd& + Bob will use the Aqua color and you will be left with "ob" instead of "Bob" at the end. Does this make sense?

As a result, this is not something we can fix, sadly. Just plain old minecraft.
