Sorting Albums Alphabetically

Roon Software Discussion
1

I’ve just noticed that Roon sorts albums alphabetically using a different rule to other music software…

It will ignore a leading “The” in the album title; so “The Juliet Letters” will appear under “J” in the list of albums.

However, Roon does not ignore “A”, so that “A Touch of Romance” appears under “A” in the list, and not under “T” as it does for other software.

Is this likely to get fixed down the road, or should I just get used to it?

I also noticed this in 1.8 today, so it seems not to have changed in all these years. Why? It doesn’t make sense, does it?

Album title sort metadata might be the reason.
