Yes or No, optionally ignore "A" & "The" when sorting by title

[reboot_this]

I always wanted to be able to have the words "A" and "The" either ignored when sorting or have them placed at the end so I could find "The Apprentice" in the "A's" and "The Bachelor" in the "B's" instead of them being in the "T's" when sorting by title.... how do you feel about it?

Example: "Apprentice, The" and "Little Princess, A"

As long as it is optional, no one should have a problem with being offered this capability.

Optional would be good.. cause I voted No

Sure, as long as they aren't removed, or moved from the display (do the removal internally).

Well, I guess "strip" was the wrong choice of verbage... I do still want to see the words I just want them to be at the back.... Example: "Apprentice, The"

And additionally, I would think it should be optional as well...

I guess I should have thought a little more about my choice of words... maybe the forum moderator can change the thread title from its to "Yes or No, have SageTV optionally ignore words "A" & "The" when sorting by title"

I will put the same example in my first post to clarify too

Tried to change thread title but change only shows when viewing the thread and not when viewing the forum.... moderator??

Better still would be to have a configurable list of words to ignore.

Personally I'd want to have 'The', 'A', 'Movie:' and 'Film:'

that would be cool. I hate having all my movies that start with "The" slapped at the end of my list.

not many votes here, I guess all you people are off watching tv haha

poll results seem to indicate that the people who did vote would like such a sorting option, The.
