Comment:
While this may be possible, there may be no real benefit to justify the
cost of the changes and added complexity and confusion for the user.
Deferring for now but would consider a better solution.
If this was a list of recordings and the user wax choosing one to watch
based on a known subtitle, then a subtitle sort could be helpful. However,
these are episodes that were recorded in the past or matching showings
that were not recorded in the past two weeks. The purpose of this lists is
for reference but the promary function is to allow the user to clean out
old crud built up in the oldrecorded table. The main things to do on this
page are to remove all episodes if they are generic and do no good for dup
matching (SportsCenter, Anderson Cooper 360, etc.) or if a series ends and
won't be shown again (Survivor: Pearl Islands) or to unmark an episode you
wan to see again.
Say I have a list that shows I've recorded programids 9, 10, 11, 13, and
14. I can see that I haven't recorded 12 either because I missed it or it
will be shown out of order, etc. I don't know the subtitle of 12 and
wouldn't be able to find it missing from a subtitle list. If I read about
an episode on the Internet and I have a short list, I could look for it
without sorting. If I has several seasons of episodes, sorting by
programid or date may be more helpful to find where it should be than an
alpha list of subtitle names.
As for leadings The/A/An, when you go to a video store do you look for The
Matrix under "T" or "M"? As far as I'm concerned, this wheel doesn't need
to be reinvented and was solved perhaps a couple hundred years ago.
The legends are not automatic and would have to be added for each theme.
The last time I did this was for Sort by Type on the priorities page. The
key choice is "(4)". Now you know why ;-).
