Custom sort title exclusions

[Luke 42078]

What did you add to SortRemoveWords?

Not that I expected it, but upgrading to 4.1.0.26 has not fixed this.

@@Luke, any further thoughts on this?

I'm not sure yet. I think this is something that needs revisiting, which is why it is currently a hidden config switch and not something that is in the user interface for customization.

It seems to have worked for other people.

 

I'm just not sure how else to indicate that my stubs are stubs.

[crusher11 1101]

Okay, so I've figured it out.

 

Instead of adding "[bD]" as a custom word exclusion, I added "[" and "]" as custom character exclusions and "BD" as a custom word exclusion. This still didn't work. I changed the word exclusion to "bd" instead, and it worked! Didn't even have to redo the ones I'd already tagged, they automatically sorted themselves...mostly. There are still some that are in the wrong spot, but redoing them seems to fix it.

 

So...no all-caps in the custom sort exclusions, apparently.

Well done.
