Titles starting with pronoun "I" are incorrectly sorted. For example, the title "I Love Dinosaurs" is incorrectly sorted into the "L"s and not into the "I"s. "I" is neither a definite nor an indefinite article so it should not be ignored during a sort.
This problem occurs in both DVDpedia 6.0.1 and DVDpedia 6.0.2.
Titles Starting with Pronoun "I" Incorrectly Sorted
Re: Titles Starting with Pronoun "I" Incorrectly Sorted
For total control over the sort feature, use the 'Sort Title' field. Ensure it is activated within Preferences > Fields > Add Edit Panel. Whatever you enter into that field, that's what the program will take into account when sorting. So in your case you want "I Love Dinosaurs" to be sorted under "I" instead of "Love", so enter I into the Sort Title field of the movie. The program will automatically resort this title for you.

This doesn't seem to work for me. My The Animatrix is nestled between Appleseed and Angel Cop, but I want it living between (or at least near) The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded.

Preferences > General > Ignore foreign articles during title sort
Ticking this setting the program will now not take into account foreign articles such as der, die, das, le, la, el, etc. when sorting entries by title. The program automatically ignores English articles (the, a, an) when sorting. For this setting to take effect you have to re-sort the title column after you've checked the preference so the titles can pick up the new sort method.
So in your case you what to UNTICK this setting. Apologises for not making this clear in my first post.
For total control over the sort feature, use the 'Sort Title' field. Whatever you enter into that field, that's what the program will take into account when sorting. So if you want "12 Monkeys" to be sorted under Monkey instead of 12, enter M into the Sort Title field of the movie.
