[QUOTE="fforde, post: 380695, member: 52082"] Well, here is the deal. The "Sort By" field is automatically populated based on the Title field. But this is only done when you first load the movie or you manually modify the movie title. If you do an update from a different data source, it will unfortunately not update the sort by field right now. This is definitely a bug so I have [URL="http://code.google.com/p/moving-pictures/issues/detail?id=360"]created an issue for it on our tracker[/URL], but I think that it will not get addressed until 0.8. As a work around you have two options. First you can go through your movie collection, and double click the Title field (which triggers an edit). This will automatically update the Sort By field (even though the change is not displayed on screen real time, another bug).
