The Dune index does not sort titles that start with 'The..' or 'A....' correctly.

Example: The Help
Local title: The Help
Sort title: Help, The
Original title: The Help

The index lists the movie in:
All titles as 'The Help', i.e under 'T', not under 'H'
Alphabetical as 'The Help', but under "H" (=> bravo!)
Categories that I created, as 'The Help', i.e under 'T', not under 'H'

I am getting the same behavior with titles that start with 'A', e.g. 'A Scanner Darkly'

Can this please be fixed?

I forgot to mention that this is with 4.04 (build 4), i.e. the very latest released one.

Sort titles are not used on the Dune, this is expected in it's current state.

My Movies creates folders and these folders are created with the title name, causing it to be rendered alfabetically.

If we used the sort title, the title displayed on the screen would be the sort title, and not the title.

I would prefer this actually. Maybe this could be made an option in CM? From what I have read here (Thanks for the link, Scott!), there seem to be others that would prefer this route as well.

Thanks for considering, Brian!

I am stuck on step 2 of these instructions. Can someone clue me in on where to go to edit the template in Windows 7, for Collection Management 4.05, Build 5? The only folders related to My Movies that I have found are in the folder Binnerup Consult. I currently have Windows displaying hidden files, so that isn't the problem.

I updated the wiki page to include the location in Win7: C:\ProgramData\My Movies\FileStorage\User Customization\Meta Data\Dune Templates

Yes, please add an option for that. The way it is now, movie sorting on the Dune is useless for me. I had to use Scott's workaround of changing the local title.

Obviously, having to do that it could result in accidental submitting of wrong local titles to the online database, which is why I'm less likely to contribute data on those titles to the online database as it's just a constant changing back and forth of the local title.
