    Is there a way to get the Series, Video, and Movie libraries to ignore leading words like "the", "a", and "an"? I keep getting all the series that start with "the" sorted in with the T's.

    No, there is no way to do that and I somehow think most people won't like such sorting way as default much.
    I can asume, that adding a setting "Ignore leading words "the", "a", "an" while sorting could be theoretically possible.

    This is why when setting up local .nfo files for video content I set and use sort titles, maybe something for the wiki? Of course this doesn’t apply if you use online scraping, true?

    I am using online scraping using TinyMediaManager. I tried using Sort Titles and it worked great for a couple of weeks. For some reason now new recordings end up with either no sort title or they sort to the beginning of the list for some reason I haven't figured out yet.

    I should point out that the developers have not formally left the project, and development has not formally stopped. The developers have instead simply "faded away", gradually spending less and less time on MP2 until the present, when they spend no time on MP2. But one or more of the developers might return next week! It is impossible...

    If you’re planning to submit a pull request, let’s go through the list of issues and their solutions. I or someone from the team will create a Jira ticket, and for each ticket, you’ll make the changes and submit a pull request. This will be transparent and straightforward.
