Did sorting by title change in 7.19?

EricLandes · 09-20-2010, 02:46 PM

I'm looking at my library, and I've noticed that Calibre now seems to be paying attention to leading "A " and "The " when sorting by title. (i.e. "A Clash of Kings" sorted under A, not C and "The Atrocity Archives" under T.)

Is this a change in behavior that I hadn't noticed before? A setting somewhere? I'd really prefer it go back to ignoring those leading words.

There was a bug in 0.7.19 for the first few hours of its life that changed both title and author_sort sorting. You must have downloaded that version.

Download it again, uninstall the one you have (library and preferences won't be deleted), and reinstall the newly-downloaded copy.

Yes, I freely admit to installing it nearly right away. Might have even been before the twitter announcement that it was available. I was actually using Calibre when it did a version check.

And that solved the problem. Thanks!

(Though, that does raise the interesting problem of there being two 0.7.19s out there. Not something I'd want happening very often.)
