An IMHO very useful addition was posted by @leelynds in here: Plex sorting artist by LASTNAME
By default, Picard fetches the TitleSort attribute and writes it into your files.
However, if these tags are present in the files, Plex will use them eventually.
But there are many people who don’t like to have their artists sorted by Lastname, Firstname.
Picard can be modified to not put the “Sorting” tags into the files by doing this:
In Picard, go to
Options - Options - Scripting
Add new script
name your script e.g. “no sort titles”
and copy this into the input field on the right hand side:
$delete(artistsort) $delete(albumartistsort)
‘Make it so!’
A big thanks to @leelynds for posting this!
