I am slowly adding my collections of hundreds of DVDs and I notice when I try to order my DVD list by Title it orders the Titles by including "The"...so for example "The Curse Of The Golden Flower" is ordered under letter T rather than C ...or "A Christmas Story" is under "A" rather than "C"... Anyway I was wondering if the programming of the site can eventually be changed to exclude "The" or "A" when ordering by title?

Then, tell system to use that field, if there is text in it, when sorting by alphabet.

My movies are filed alphabetically and my books (I'm thinking of putting them on Listal), 2000+ are by Dewey decimal. I like to have my Listal lists agree with my home files so I can Lisal to quickly find items to loan them out.
