How do you sort titles with numbers in them? - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

dryars · 10-22-2002, 12:17 PM

I was wondering the preference of everyone out there who list their titles in 123ABC. Are you the type that:

A.) Lists 123 then ABC. IE starting from titles like 6th day, 12 Monkey's, 13th Warrior, 15 Minutes, 24 Season 1. This is in proper numerical order. In this case, Starting from 6 to 24

B.) Lists 123 then ABC in "MS Windows" order. IE 12 Monkey's, 13th Warrior, 15 Minutes, 24 Season 1, 6th Day. This order exists because the begining of each number is being taken into account, rather than the natural number progression we all know. I say MS Windows because this is how Windows lists my movies as files in the file-system.

C.) Lists 123 and ABC together. Thirteen Days, Thirteen Ghosts, Thirteenth Warrior, Twelve Monkey's etc...

D.) Lists titles with "spelled out" numbers with ones with real numbers. IE 6th Day, 12 Monkey's, Thirteen Days, Thirteen Ghosts 13th Warrior etc... You get the idea...

I personally prefer A. What about everyone else?

Thanks....and, I changed the title to be a *little* more descriptive. When I clicked on it I thought that meant you were looking to find all the titles of DVDs with numbers on them.

I know we talked about this before, there was an entire thread about it. I think it was about the time "Pi" came out.

But I can't find it. bah.

Morticia · 10-22-2002, 06:44 PM

Yep, found a few that may help (including the Pi one, I knew it was around here -- search on "sort" and "organize") :

Organize your DVDs

Storing Pi

Organize DVDs (again)

Displaying DVDs

Each of these have sections where numbered titles appear to be a focus.

I take the easy way out.... (I don't sort them at all)...

***Taxi*** · 10-22-2002, 09:13 PM

Numbers first.

***Wirehed*** · 10-22-2002, 09:19 PM

I convert all movie titles to binary.
