[slinkelist] Sorting albums, any ideas ?

[George Tang]

The reason why you didn't see any replies is because this is an old long
time standing issue.  Many discussions have already taken place on this
topic.  One way to do this is to write an Access query that'll do the job
for you rather than manual edit.  You can even set it up so that you have a
Windows shortcut that'll launch Access, open the database, and run a script
that'll run the query.  But you do need to click on the shortcut to run it
manually.

Hope this helps.

Well I didn't see any replies. It'd be nice if CDJ did this for you but not
many programs have this feature for sorting lists.

I've taken to solving it the brute force way ... manual editing. I've gone
through my titles and changed all the album names like "The XXXXXX" to
"XXXXXX, The". In some cases I just dropped "the" or "a", but most of the
time I use the ",".

For whatever it's worth,
Scott

Does anyone know a handy way to short albums  alphabetically by artist
name ignoring the "The" and "a" and "an" article or the first name of
artist without altering the name itself ?

The obvious solution is in the database use another field to input the
artist name in desired format for shorting.
But the problem still is how to get CDJ to use that field / (index).

Any suggestion ?
(If I remember correctly, in "customize header" there was no way to
include any additional text fields)

Is there any hidden gems of CDJ that I'm unaware of that allow to use
alternative index on database ?
