Option to include The, A, LA, El, ect... in the title

[Locutus64 125]

I would like to see an option on first setup of a server to include A, The, LA, El, etc... as part of the title. one should have to go through item by item in the metadata editor or edit the one file to have these words included as part of the title.

This should of stayed under feature request where it belongs. As mentioned in a thread I found the other day I want A, The, El, LA, ect.. included as part of the title cause it's the way my file manager sorts and it makes it easier to find items that are missing in Emby so I can correct them.

You can have it either way on your system depending how you config it.
Everyone can be happy or change it to be how they want it.

You can edit these in the system.xml file in the config folder.
Shutdown Emby Server before editing.

You already have the option to configure this but it is just a manual process as these are not available to adjust in the UI.

  <SortRemoveWords>
    <string>the</string>
    <string>a</string>
    <string>an</string>
    <string>das</string>
    <string>der</string>
    <string>el</string>
    <string>la</string>
  </SortRemoveWords>

Then you have to Refresh previously indexed items.

Again as stated it would be nice to have a check box during the initial setup of the server for this so one doesn't have to go digging into the file system. No reason for Grim to act like a child cause someone made a more than reasonable feature request.

you were only directed toward the already existing feature requests so you could lend your support. there's only one person here behaving like a child....

I understand there are a few people that do not want to follow standard sorting that is used world wide by virtually every cataloging system there is but there really does not need to be an option for it during setup. It would, as Emby has stated before about some things I have asked for, simply introduce a complication that most users would not really understand.

There is no reason to make things more complicated for the large majority just to simplify setup for a small minority.

Emby has provided an option for users that wish to have their sort act differently and that is quite good enough as far as I believe.

There's already existing feature request for articles to be ignored, lend your support there, as it is clearly pinned on top of Feature requests thread:

Please search for your request before posting.  It may already exist. "Like" the posts of the thread starter to vote for a request. Thanks.

You've been given links. You've been given means - which would've taken you whole of 30 seconds to achieve desired result. You've been given fairly realistic explanation from @Gilgamesh_48. 

I left it unlocked for any potentially constructive input. No more.
