Tog option "ignore.sort" - Placeholder

[Lakorus]

Hello,

I have a question about the "ignore.sort" tag option:

Is there a placeholder-character that can be used if the string that is to be ignored is followed directly by a letter? For example: I want the song "(Don't fear) The reaper" to show up under "D", instead of "(". I tried the tag value {(*} but that didn't change anything.

Best regards
Lakorus

For this song, you will need to define a custom sort value. The usual way to do this is add a TITLESORT tag to the song and use the Title.value.sort={TitleSort} setting in tagValue.

Hi Simon,

that works fine, thank you!

I had to add "Title" and "TitleSort" as itemTags, though. I would have thought that "Title" is known automatically throughout MinimServer, as they are a standard-index ("xx items").

I think you are correct that Title shouldn't need to be in itemTags. I will investigate whether I can remove this requirement. Many thanks!
