| | Posted: | | | | Before anyone jumps on me, I did use the search feature and didn't find anything.
Having said that, as I understand it the "Sort Title" is there so that you can list the dvds as you please, instead of what would necessarily be the alphabetical title.
For example, I am trying to organize my X-Files titles. In terms of the seasons, I have listed them under sort title as X-Files 1, X-Files 2, X-Files 3, etc. but they are not organizing themselves that way.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you |

| | Posted: | | | | Most abvious question: is your collection list ordered by the Title column?
Could you make a screenshot of your collection list and of two different Personalization screens that don't order correctly? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | You can see in the screenshot how Seasons 2-9 are sorted correctly, but the first season is sorted by "X-Files 1", while Season 2 is "X-Files 2"...That's what's confusing me. Also, the IWTB Movie is sorted as "X-Files 16", yet is before "X-Files 2"...  |

Also, the IWTB Movie is sorted as "X-Files 16", yet is before "X-Files 2"... The program reads "16" as "one six", not "sixteen". If you want X-Files 2 to come before X-Files 16, you'll need to change it to X-Files 02 (in the sort title... you can have it display anything you want). It will read numbers a digit at a time, not as a complete string (as our trained minds do). | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

| | Posted: | | | | Hello all, I found the reason why my HD DVD won't sort correctly is because several of them are coded as
NTSC. The software will only allow me to select either NTSC or PAL for the disk in question. Any ideas? | | | | Last edited: by HDLOVER |

You have done a screen print of the normal screen, but we just need a screen print of the personalisation screen since that is where the sort title is entered. I couldn't see this on the print you embedded. (And can you make it a larger print so it's easier to see). cheers | | | | Paul |

Select the profile, press CTRL-P, make a screenshot. If necessary cou can use MS Paint to paint rectangles over paid price and such.  | | | Karsten

If it's just HD DVD the PAL/NTSC selection should be greyed out so you can select either The boxes that are checked are "DVD and HD DVD" Thanks for your help! |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you guys for all your help. I figured that the program didn't read the numbers correctly, so before I read all these responses, I ended up numbering them X-Files A, X-Files B, etc., and that fixed it. Thanks again guy.  |

| | Posted: | | | | To Karsten,
I wasn't aware that you could save a screenshot by pressing Ctrl-P. I tried it but couldn't locate where it was saved. I give up. Help!
I'm using XP SP3 and have always held down Alt and pressed PrintScreen to copy the active window to the clip board and then pasted the result in a graphics program for further manipulation.
Also; is this feature unique to Profiler or is it a Windows function? Regardless, thanks for the great info!
Jim

Thanks again guy. not to be nit picky but it does read the numbers correctly, just not as you are expecting. 9 would come before 1000 if you are sorting by number, but this field isn't strictly number so it's comparing 9 to 1, not the 3 characters following the 1. So you should pad the numbers one the left with 0's, ie 0009 so it shows properly, Padding everying number to 2 digits is usually enough for sorting tv seasons or movie sequals. For movie titles like 300 and such probably need at least 4 but maybe more depending on your titles. If you go by your largest number title you should be fine. You can always add more if you get a larger number. but that could involve editing a lot of titles so if you go largest number plus 1 or 2 extra digits it could save you editing. -Agrare |
