Sort video files starting with "The"
#1
Been using XBMC on Xbox for years and just moved over to Windows version. I've got a whole bunch of music videos. Any that start with "The" are sorted into the next word ie. The Cars fit into the C's. I know I must be blind but I can't find the setting to change so it doesn't ignore the "The".

Don't have the problem on the Xbox. Anyone point me in the right direction ?

It'll be in Settings->Appearance->File Lists/View Options or there abouts. Ignore tokens.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Thank you. That's done the trick. I didn't know "the" was a token.

I would never have found that.

They are articles.

But would anybody know what "remove articles" would mean anymore than "remove tokens"?

I think that this should be implemented to work with the tv-shows aswell.

Depends on the sort mode - there was another thread about it somewhere by the same user.

I would suggest "Ignore prefix", it might be a bit more intuitive.

I think that make it a little more clearer Nod

...or perhaps "Ignore article prefixes" or better yet "Ignore noun marker article prefixes" (or maybe even "Ignore article/token prefixes")

Huh

+1 for "Ignore noun marker article prefixes" Big Grin

I suggest you submit a new ticket on trac for tracking purposes.

Or maybe "sort by name" or "sort by name instead of article". That makes clear that it is a sorting thing... Although is not always names, can be adjectives Laugh like "big kahuna, the"
