Alphabetical order (help me grammar nazis)

Post by **bitWISE** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:57 pm

I'm going through my DVDs and I ran into a small problem. Which first words are ignored? For example, I would file The Cooler under C rather than T. Should I file A Clockwork Orange under C or A?

Post by **Mr.Magnetichead** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:58 pm

Yeah just ignore A and The.

Just choose the way you remember your movies and do it that way. Real life doesn't need spellcheck.

if you're using a software cataloger, just do it the same way it does, which does what clownboi suggested.

dvdprofiler is good

dvd profiler is pretty sweet. I just wish it had a way to import titles from a text file. It's going to take a while to add these one-by-one.

Order them autobiographically...

nice. how do you use it? by which i mean, what kind of use do you get out of it?

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Sun Dec 04, 2005 10:56 pm

i just like to keep a database of my dvd's. you can apply your own ratings, keep track of loans (rare), and include any comments about a particular film. mostly nerdy.

Post by **seremtan** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 1:29 am

so it doesn't come with a robot that finds the disk and loads it into the player then fixes you a drink and a snack?

that's disappointing

Only faggots places their CDs or DVDs alphabetically on the shelf.

Post by **menkent** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:05 pm

only faggots need help putting things in alphabetical order.

Post by **chiQ** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:21 pm

The only right way is the way that makes sense to you - if you were looking for that DVD would you look under C or T? Your answer is your answer...doofus!
