[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 825713, member: 18896"] This has to do with the article removal setting. "The 5th Element" with article removal setting enabled gets sorted as "5th element the", but the title remains "The 5th Element". So it gets sorted as the very first movie starting with letter 'T', but at the wrong position you are looking for when trying to jump to the movies starting with letter 'T'. You either have to disable article removal settings, so the movie sorts under the letter "T" and a jump will go to the correct position, or you need to use a scraper-script that is capable of applying article removal not just to the sortby title, but to the actual title as well. To overcome an issue with the way MovingPictures does article removal I'm actually going to build a seperate article removal into the IMDb+ scraper and it would be easy for me to not just apply it to the SortBy, but title as well. The other work around is to jump to 'S' first and then use page down to get to the start of letter 'T', or go to 'U' to find the end of letter 'T' right above it. That's the workaround I use myself. Another way is to remember the name of the first real 'T' movie and use SMS-filtering to sort down to that movie. Once you got the movie selected, say for example "Terminator" via 8+3+7+6 (most likely it already filters down enough to show it). And then if you go back/escape it just once, it still keeps the selection on "Terminator" movie, but shows it amongst all the other letter 'T' movies.
