FileBot

Hi.

For a while now, my CLI --Format Sortname() is not working the way it used to. A search showed the release comment that it's default behavior changed in Filebot 4.6.1.

"* Changed String.sortName() default behaviour"

The following command is part of a AutoHotKey script, that files a downloaded TV show.

filebot -rename "%P_Download_Location%" --action copy --log all --db thetvdb --log-file %Logfile% --conflict slip -non-strict -no-xattr --format "%MainTVLibRoot%/%P_genre%/{n.replaceTrailingBrackets().sortName().replaceTrailingBrackets()} (+)/Season {s.pad(2)}/{n.replaceTrailingBrackets()}.{S00E00}.{t.replaceAll(/[´‘’ʻ]/`, ""'"")}"

In the past, a show like say, The Golden Girls, would be filed like:
/Comedy/Golden Girls, The (+)/Season 01/The Golden Girls.S01E01.Etc

(the (+) is just an indicator to highlight current shows in the media library)

Now, the "The"'s are just being dropped altogether, changing the filed path to:
/Comedy/Golden Girls (+)/Season 01/The Golden Girls.S01E01.Etc

Is there something that I'm doing that's not compatible with Filebot 4.6.1? Or is there something I should be doing differently now that Sortname()'s "default behavior" has changed?

As always, Thanks for the wonderful application, and your continuing support!

Yes, the new behaviour is the new default.

If you want the old behaviour, then you have to change your format a little bit (link below).
