    Default When Sorting Collections Alphabetically by Title

    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?

    "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.

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

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

    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.

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