    omit word in entry for alphabetical order


    Im trying to create a DB of all the movies I have and many of them obviously start with "The". Is there anyway to omit "The" so the alphabetical order will be correct???

    Thanks in advance,

    Phil

    make two columns:
    alpha sort name
    formal name

    and then sort by the alpha sort name - but display the formal name....

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
