ArticleStrings - sorting is not working

General Discussions Plex Features
1

Hi!

I am trying to get my library to remove some international articles in sort titles. I edited the preferences.xml file adding the following value ArticleStrings =“el, la, los, las, un, uno, una, unos, unas, the, a, an, der, die, das, ein, eine, le, les, une, des"; and scanned again the library but it still ignores the setting. I am using the Plex Movie agent and “Title” and “Sort Title” fields are the same. I’ve also tried restarting the Plex Media Server and even the server operating system itself (Synology NAS on DSM 6.2.4), but nothing changes. The PMS version that I’ve installed is 1.24.1.4931-6000.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Try this (no spaces, no semicolon):
ArticleStrings=“el,la,los,las,un,uno,una,unos,unas,the,a,an,der,die,das,ein,eine,le,les,une,des”

Thank you very much to both of you for your prompt response.
It already works for me, just as I had it (with spaces and commas). I just had to remove and re-add all my movies for it to work. Trumpy81 gave me the clue with the text that appeared after the BTW :wink:
What I was doing wrong was that I was just rescanning the movies and not adding them again.
Now I have my libraries in KODI and PLEX with the same sort order. :clap: :clap: :clap:
