[QUOTE="mortstar, post: 341122, member: 66294"] Hi This is an idea I think was mentioned way back in 0.2.3 but wasn't really followed up. I've got the music database stripping 'The, Das' etc. from band names so that it sorts, for example, 'The Beatles' in to 'B' for Album Artists. In the GUI an album will show as 'Beatles, The - Abbey Road'. External plugins like MovingPictures and TV Series handle this situation with a 'sort by' field and a 'display' field. Perhaps the music database can be expanded so that the artists can still be sorted properly but display correctly also - so the above example becomes 'The Beatles - Abbey Road' but still grouped with artists beginning with B. Is there a chance this would ever be implemented? [/QUOTE]
