I wish an option to generally switch off the Sort Title Cut Function.

Now the titles are cuts for sort, i.e.:

Title:
The Terminator

will be an Sort Title of:
Terminator

I don't like this function. Manually correction is to erroneous.

I personally prefer that it works the way it does automatically, but a better option for all would be a choice in Options to set whether it does this automatically or leaves it identical to the actual Title.

Tools/Options/Display. You have total control of your local database and can do anything you want. What ken does with the Online is Ken's choice. Personally having spent many years with books and libraries where append the article is normal procedure, I prefer to that Terminator, The is the appropriate sort NOT The Terminator and that is the way I do it here.

You're right Skip. I completely forgot that it was already available as an option.

Check the box "append title articles", I think is what Skip was referring to.

I think people are referring to "Append title articles", but that may not do exactly what you want.

Edit: Great minds think alike...

I like the "Append title articles" option and makes searching titles easier. Is there any way to have this reflected in the mobile version too? I ticked the option and the titles reflected the change but when I sync over, the mobile titles were default. Would be gled if there was a way to have this on the mobile version too.

Hi,

the sort title is a local field, it will only be set by the program when you add the profile or when you empty it.

If you want to have the THE in there, just edit the profile (double-click in the collection list) and put it in there.

Yes, and this was a request that it wouldnt delete it automatically.

I never realised the program did this.
It would make much more sense to append the article rather than simply remove it.

I know. But it has nothing to do with the optical setting to append the article in the collection list.

But that was a suggestion which doesn't actually solve the OP's problem.
All the "append title articles" tickbox does is move the articles to the end of the title, it doesn't change the sort title at all - which still has the articles chopped off.

The OP wants the articles appended on the sort title too.

I don't think so:

It sounds to me as if both posters want a sort title of "The Terminator" and not "Terminator" or "Terminator, The". And the display option can't help with that.
