Over at How Appealing, Howard Bashman raises an interesting question about alphabetizing cases in a table of authorities:

How should unusual case names be alphabetized in an appellate brief?s table of authorities? For example, assume you cite the following four cases in your appellate brief:

United States v. Jones;

United States v. $154,362.05 in U.S. Currency;

United States v. 75 Broken Television Sets; and

United States v. Smith.

How should those cases be alphabetized in the brief's table of authories?
