Ignoring article prefix on sort listings
« on: July 20, 2012, 06:15:29 pm »

Hey folks,

First I need to congratulate you guys for making such amazing software, for sure there is nothing similiar on the market today. I am really impressed by your software everytime I use it.

So congrats! You all deserve it!

Now going back to my question: is there an option to ignore the definite article "the" in alphabetically sorted lists? Let me explain what I mean... I have several bands on my music collection whose names include the definite article "the", for example: The Cure, The Smiths, The Gathering, etc. So when viewing the folders on my library alphabetically sorted all those bands are grouped under "T" as expected.

BUT It would be nice if there was an option to ignore the article making "The Cure" appear under C (as "Cure, The"); "The Smiths" under S (as Smiths, The) and "The Gathering" under G (as Gathering, The) and so on.


Is it possible to do it in the current MC version? If it is not, why not add such feature in the next releases?

What folks here in the forum think? Do you all agree it would be nice or not?

It´s just a suggestion.


Keep up the good work!

Warm regards,
Fábio.

I believe

Tools > Options > Tree & View > Ignore Articles

is what you're looking for.

bmpadm - thanks for asking this
imugli -thanks for the answer.

I didn't know this option existed & had created a custom field to remove the articles & then sorted my views on this field.  Have now removed my work around.

Cheers,

Steve

Is there a way to ignore articles for Theater View views as well?
