Option to use words like "The" or "A"

[JOHN30011887]

Iv mentioned this on a few live streams since launchbox version 6.9 but thought id make topic here

id love for an option to come back so games like "The witcher 3" or "The sims 4" can be in alphabetical order under "THE" and not under W or S etc.

As you can see the games that start with "THE" arnt in the correct order

Sort title is the only way to get the games to go under "THE", but if i put in sort title "THE SIMS 4", it will then move to S and ignore THE.

Its the same for the other games starting with "THE"

 

Please can this be looked into

I'd just like to add that if this is in any way changed the need for it to still function like it already does also needs to exist as I don't want 100 games listed under t because it has the article the in the title.

I sometimes get frustrated by that, but then if everything was sorted by THE, there would be a crap load of THE in the letter T. Probably would become hard to find a game that actually started with T and not THE. But couldn't hurt to have that option at least.

I completely agree. Personally I would prefer an option that articles won't get ignored as well. I was one of the few (maybe even the only vocal person at that time) who didn't liked it when Jason added the function to ignore them in the first place.

You should post your suggestion in this thread as well:

I would say the best option would be a list where you can add the words you would like to ignore.

This is the right idea. This would even help with mid-title article sorting (for instance: Paper Mario: *The* Thousand-Year Door).

Yeah or a simple box to tick/toggle where you choose if you want to ignore or not ignore words like A or The

I recently got the game "A Hat in Time"

it should be under "A" but instead it was under "H"

 

Hope this can get looked at for version 8, been so long with this (since version 6.9)
