Problem with sortName

[rednoah]

Is there anyway to create a custom regex that can correctly swap The or A to the end, but putting it before the year if a year already exists in the default title?

Please read [SNIPPET] Sort Name on how to do just that. Though you'll have to come up with the regex pattern yourself.


I'd just do n.sortName() and then leave it at that. Drop the "The" and make life easy.


If you must have Movie, The (2021) naming though (BAD IDEA; WILL BREAK MATCHING IN THE FUTURE) then I'd do it like this:

Code: Select all

{ ny.before(/[(]\d{4}[)]/).sortName('$2, $1') } ({ y })
