Sorting the

[MyMediaAtHome 2]

"The Best Movie Ever"

is sorted as

"Best Movie Ever The"

How can change the sort settings. 
Emby Server runs on Windows.

You have to modify your System.xml file as there are standard SortRemoveWords.

 

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

When I remove the complete section it's re-added.

When I edit the section it seems to be ignored.

I restarted the server and refreshed the metadata

Editted: ....AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config\system.xml

Hi, you need to shutdown Emby then edit the XML file and restart.

You can't edit it while Emby is running.

Seems to make no difference

Did you do a library scan after making this change?

[MyMediaAtHome 2]

Library scan didn't work.
Earlier I did a metadata refresh which didn't work.

So now I did a library scan, followed by a refresh metadata in teh configuration section, followed by a refresh metadata in http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/home

That did the trick.

I don't really follow but all I did in a test a minute ago is shut down Emby, edit the system.xml, start Emby and do a library scan.  All items that began with The were move to T instead of ignoring it.

Same test I just did as well with same result.

A refresh metadata should be done to ensure those items gets re-saved into the database. You may have just gotten lucky with the regular library scan already refreshing items for some other reason.
