Hello,
I am experiencing a minor problem with the sort order of my movies and the “ignorie articles” setting:
Typically, I want Kodi to ignore articles such as “the” when sorting. This feature works fine, except for a handful of films. The problem is that “die” is the female definite article in German and therefore the movie “Die Hard” (and its sequels) is sorted as “Hard, Die”. I know that I can add more articles to ignore in Advancedsettings.xml, but I don’t need more, I need less. 
I was wondering …
1) if this is a problem only on my machine because the OS is installed in German or if this also occurs for users with other locales?
2) if there is a setting to *not* ignore the article for a few individual movies without changing the setting globally?
3) if I could also remove “die” from the list of articles? For the time being, this would also solve my problem because I do not have any German movie titles starting with “Die …”.
I couldn’t find any solution in the documentation or on Google, however, all the search terms I can think of give me a lot of generic results. I already modified the sort title for the “Die Hard” films to be simply “Die Hard 1”, “Die Hard 2”, “Die Hard 3”, so they would sort in the correct order from 1 to 3. Yet they are still sorted in my collection as “Hard, Die …” relative to the other movies. Therefore I know it’s not something as simple as overriding the sort title. It seems to me that the “ignore articles” settings is applied on top of whatever a movie’s sort title is.
Cheers,
Lars
