Alphebetizing by the "The" should be a criminal act.
This seemingly simple thing enrages me on a daily basis.
How difficult can it fucking be to write some damn code to omit βtheβ from sorting if it is the first word of a title? JFC
If βtheβ appears first, then βignoreβ must surely be a thing, right??
Fans of The The in absolute shambles.
Looking at you, Google Play Library.
Agree, as a further measure It should be criminal to name stuff with "the" to begin with.
We should organize libraries not by name, or even the Dewey decimal system, but simply by title length. Fiction, non fiction, jounrla articles, doesn't matter. It's all just in one stupid long list, shortest title to longest title.
