For a future release I would love to be able to view my local collection by sort title.

Now we have three options:

'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Display' > 'Title Format'

- Title
- Original title
- Title (Original title)

What I would love to see is another option:

- Sort title

I would then be able to, without locking the title field, e.g. add James Bond or 007 in front of all James Bond movies and so on. Keeping the title field unlocked and correct also gives me the possibility to change how my collection is displayed in the future, without manually changing the title filed of each DVD. This option would also stop most discussions whether a DVD is to be titled T2 or Terminator 2 and so on. Sort title is not possible to contribute and is local only. A function resetting all flagged 'Sort Titles' to 'DVD Title' would also come in handy.

I'm not sure why that would change anything, the title is still the title that gets contributed which must come from the front cover. Sorry, just don't see any use for your request but that might just be me.

Nope... not just you... I don't see it either.

eh, but you already have them sorted by Sort-Title

hm, if you, for whatever reasons, don't want to use the given information in the Title-Field, then why not change it to you needs and lock it? That is exactly what the Lock is there for.

James Bond was just an example. There's a lot of DVDs I sometimes would love to list close to each other. Every day when I'm looking at 'deals of the week' in different net shops I would love to just scroll down to take a look at what James Bonds movies I'm missing, or what Disney Classics I don't have in my collection. I would also love to be able to list all Wallander and Beck DVD's by number. These are just examples. The same goes for hundreds of other DVDs.

Yes, they are sorted by Sort Title, but still listed as DVD Title. I would really appreciate a feature like this but it looks like I'm outnumbered. Well, if I didn't try to suggest such a feature I certainly wouldn't get it!

I'm sorry but my English isn't the best and I tried to explain this in my first post but it seems something is lost in translation. I don't want my collection listed like that for all the time. Many times it would be best to have them listed by DVD title. Having the possibility to list them also by Sort title would be great. Unlocking and changing title for all my DVD's manually would not be an option for me when I want to view the collection in a different order. I was thinking with this possibility I would keep the original data for DVD Title in place ready to be resetted at all time.

O.k. light bulb moment, now I understand.  I can get behind adding the ability to sort by title, sort title or original title.

Ah, I think I see now ... Wouldn't your wish be fulfilled easiest if we just had a column "sort-title" to add in the Collection List?[1]
In that case I would see no problem there, on he contrary I  like as many columns as possible!

Now I'm getting confused. 

Wasn't the suggestion not just for for the possibility of showing the sort title in the collection list?

That is how it came across, which is why I think it got a negative response, but that isn't what he wants.  He wants to be able to 'sort' using the DVD Title, Sort Title and Original Title...instead of just the sort title.

Thanks.

In this casem I think adding this as chooseable coloumns would be the best way. (I think this wouldn't hurt, even if some never would use it)

Now that seems like a better way to do exactly what I want! I didn't think of that. Even easier than my suggested feature. Thanks!

That is just what I want. The possibility of showing the Sort Title in the collection list. I'm sorry for all confusion. I really don't see why my suggestion would cause such negative feedback. It's just another way to display the collection list. It's not changing anything for those who's not interested in using it.

Mithi has an even better solution in his post

It seems like I just cause more confusion trying to explain my suggestion further. Your first understanding was all correct. I just want to be able to see the Sort Titles in the collection list.

But the good on this: It brought up a good idea which would match your needs. (Mithi's idea)

And btw, I could see both ways helpful for some users and both would be some kind of option, so I wouldn't have a probleme with any of the both ideas.
