When Sorting Collections Alphabetically by Title

[blackmage_nuke]

Do you ignore titles the "The" at the start of titles or do you take the "The" into account

Which do you prefer when things are sorted on your computer?

[Shauna]

"The" is never taken into account. I deal with it when my PC does this as I can't be bothered removing "The" from all the folder names.

Generally the doesn't count. A usually doesn't either, but that'd be up to you.

[Shorty]

Yeah, ignore "the".

[Vermachtnis]

I ignore the "the." Sometimes even when I'm talking. I say Legend of Zelda, not The Legend of Zelda.

[Calliope]

Ignore articles. Shelve with "nothing" going before "something". Suck it, Library of Congress!

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I always get upset when I'm trying to find something in a place that has things categorized alphabetically, and they put all of the "The's" together. My phone does this with music and it drives me crazy.

[Colonel Angus]

OK, what if phones were programmed to ignore "The", then a band came out & named themselves "The The"? Your phone would implode.
