Please add the sorting by the Original Title in the Collection List tab.

Even though most of my DVD are titled in French, I'm more used to use the Original Title.

Using the Sort Title via Personalize is not really usefull; it doesn't sort all the titles alphabetically.

Hmmm..not sure what your last line means....the Sort Title DOES sort alphabetically.....

Not really. It orders the titles according to the ASCII values of the characters - this will typically appear to be sorted for English titles, but if you have any characters beyond a-z in the title you might have to write the sort title without these characters using whatever combination of the characters giving the correct result.

For example to get a Danish title starting with Aa to the end of the list where it belong the sort title can be written with ZZ (or "å" as it will sort after z, but then you have to make sure it works with other characters).

Luckily operating systems have been able to sort decently for a long long time.... unfortunately DVD Profiler does not ask the OS to do the sorting, it attempts to do it itself... and fails.

I don't know about the original poster, but I'd like to be able to switch sorting between DVD title and original title without updating all the sort title fields.

I think that would require a sort field for each title field.

I think Mark is correct.  Profiler does not sort based on the 'title' field, it sorts based on the 'sort' field.  Yes, it does default to what is in the 'title' field, but that can be changed.

But some people want to be able to sort by title once time and original title the next, and back to title the next.  The best solution would be multiple sort titles.  That would make the most people happy.  Anything else only gets you part way there.

I'm sure there are some who would be quite happy if you could put the original title in the sort title, but for others, that's not enough.

If I am reading it correctly, I agree with Mark.  The solution has to be multiple sort fields.  Maybe that is something that Ken could add as a 'local only' feature.

it would have to be local only (like the existing sort field).

Actually I would be happy even without a sort title field. I do not use the sort title field for anything else than removing the leading article. But switching between sorting to original title and DVD title would be appreciated. Of course I would not mind a second sort title field.

I see what you're saying.  But if you're giong to ask Ken to take the time to fix this issue, why not ask him to take the time to do it properly?  Otherwise you'll quickly have new threads pointing out the problems with what you suggest.
