Ignore "the" in alphabetical files list

(1/2) > >>

tidy_prophet:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a quick search but didn't find anything

I've got file and directory view set to alphabetical, however it lists folders starting with "The" in between S and U. I was wondering if there was any way to get it to ignore the "The" at the start of folders when determining alphabetical order.

Thanks

Llorean:
No, there's not. The patch for this was even rejected. An alphabetical list of files is exactly that, a list of files in strictly alphabetical order.

There is a patch for using sort tags, for the database, that is being considered but needs to be completed.

PaulPosition:
(as an addendum : the reason the patch was rejected was, at least in good parts, because no one wants to make rockbox totally anglo-centric. Ignore "the" ?  What about ignore Le, La, Les, Il, El, Los, ... ??)

tidy_prophet:
Well I imagine there would be no need to ignore "Le" if the language were set to English...(unless the band was Italian or something, but even then...I don't think anyone is getting offended)

Well it's not a huge deal anyway, I guess I could rename the folders "xxxxxx, The" to fix it.

Thanks for the help and quick responses, I'm really liking Rockbox so far

Submit a patch that does this cleanly and it will be considered.
