Sort replace words not working?

[Pirlo1966 22]

Latest beta server & Clasic.

Classic config xml has the sort replace word tag filled in. However, It doesn't seem to skip the sort replace words while sorting movies...? Is this functionality obsolete?

Yes, that is obsolete on the client side as that value was used to create the Sort Name and that is now done on the server side.

Thanks for clarifying. Any plans to remove that tag and other obsolete tags?

Have been looking into server config xml.

The tags below are present but it doesn't seem to work in MB Classic?

 

<SortReplaceCharacters>

    <string>.</string>

    <string>+</string>

    <string>%</string>

  </SortReplaceCharacters>

  <SortRemoveCharacters>

    <string>,</string>

    <string>&</string>

    <string>-</string>

    <string>{</string>

    <string>}</string>

    <string>'</string>

    <string>[</string>

    <string>]</string>

    <string>(</string>

    <string>)</string>

  </SortRemoveCharacters>

  <SortRemoveWords>

    <string>the</string>

    <string>a</string>

    <string>an</string>

    <string>de</string>

    <string>het</string>

    <string>een</string>

    <string>le</string>

    <string>la</string>

    <string>les</string>

  </SortRemoveWords>

Not necessarily.  Removing some of these things could break components that may still reference them so I am very careful about removing stuff.  It isn't hurting anything.

It isn't hurting anything.

 Except stupid people like me filling in these tags  for 4 users on 3 different HTPC's

We've pretty much gone away from needing to do any manual editing of the config files.  If it isn't exposed in the config interface, don't worry about it.
