I am a new member here so I apologize if this has been covered before.
I have title_series_sorting = 'strictly_alphabetic' and save_template_title_series_sorting = 'strictly_alphabetic'.
But when I "Edit Metadata Individually", in a list of already imported books, I can't get the "Title Sort" column to place "The" and "A" at the beginning. If I manually change it, it will stay that way, but if I just click the little move arrow at the right side of the "Title" box, Calibre insists on moving the articles to the end with a comma in the title.
How can I get Calibre to list the title of books in "Title sort" window the same way they are in the "Title" window?
