leading articles? #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Not a biggy, but ignore leading articles sort order would be a biggy on my list 
of what was and is no more... at least I can't find it in options.....  

specifically a, an, the. 'the' is the only one that really is problematic for 
my pea brain.

Got you covered ;o)

In the Flow Option menu go to "View Options" then Under "Level-New" go to "Sort 
By:" and set to Title.  Once you set to Title you will see a new option under 
it.  In that new menu option you will see options for ignoring the leading 
articles.

I'm blind I tell ya, blind! :) THX!

Related but different, I've got at least one series that the seasons aren't 
sorting properly, see below pics, I've got level 2 grouped by season and sorted 
by season&episode.... (which seems like the obvious way to sort, and it puts 
season 5 above season 4.... sorting by title works in that 4 is above 5... but 
"season #" isn't really title... maybe if grouped by season, the sort should be 
season rather than title?

I would guess that the metadata is not right for one of them, so have a look in 
BMT and see if there's anything different between the two.

Are you decending (5 then 4 below) instead of ascending (4 then 5 below)?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
yeah, did that... they both seem identical to my eye in BMT, I did check that 
first... and the setting I've tried is ascending, decending and none...

This sorts properly in diamond and native sage, so don't think it's an issue 
outside of the flow...

When I sort by Title it works fine so I don't think it's a difference in the 
metadata... I think it's more a function of is "Title" the right word or should 
it say "Season" as the sort option?  After-all "season 4" isn't the title...  
If you look at the first picture above, it's on group by season, then sort by 
season&episode, which intuitively should mean it sorts by season ascending, 
then within that by episode, unless there's a level 3 sort that says something 
different, right?

If your turn off your banners, you will find that the 'Title' for those items 
are 'Season 4' and 'Season 5'.  That is why title works (though probably 
wouldn't once you go over 9 seasons).  I seem to think I also saw some 
strangeness in the season sorting, but didn't investigate further...

Yup... but it's really not part of the title at all, just a hierarchical 
designation done by Gemstone as part of the grouping function... I don't think 
the "average" sage user (like me) is going to correlate the 'title' that 
way.... In a grouping by season scenario, it seems to me that one of the sort 
options should be "by season".  In fact I'd say that anything that is grouped 
by "something" should then have sort by "something" one of the option and not 
have to translate... I think it's just a label issue....

I believe you can just leave the Grouper as Season and the Sorter blank and it 
will work.

But Title is the correct sorter if you chose one... could be considered a 
labeling thing but then we would need 2 sorted that did the same thing so I 
don't think we will be adding one.

Try leaving it blank and see how that goes.

PS: Title will handle the seasons above 9 properly (likely not above 99 but not 
going to worry about that one right now).
