paulsalter 84 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi, I have looked through all the settings but cannot see anything for this How do I get titles that start with the word 'The' to be shown under the letter 'T' for 'The' instead of the rest of the title eg I have a film called The Hole I want this to be titled 'The Hole' and sorted under T, not under H for Hole I know I can change the sort title for all films like this, but is there an option to use the title as it is and not ignore these starting words/letters Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You need to use the sort name field at this time. You may be able to use a tool like Media Center Master or Metabrowser to automate this as they have more features when it comes to preparing the metadata xml files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsalter 84 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for the info I have manually been through and set the sort order now, just wasn't sure if there was an option to save me doing this Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckler 147 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I don't mind it ignoring the word 'The' or most of the others. But there is one movie where it really, really bugs me. A.I. It lists it under I instead of because of that ignoring A thing.... Bugs me no end in that single case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artificial Intelligence" in sort name also, now located in A instead of I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
