Thanks for the reply tkinnen. I just wish they would use a new UPC code for the new sets when they were released. The old ones being in a fat slip cover. For 1 thing the new release of Buffy is titled The Complete first through seventh seasons. The old was only that way with the first season. So if you get this new LiteBox/Keep Case sets, you are stuck with the titles out of order. You can change the case type and the titles on the profiles, but the order in the list remains as if you didn't change them. You also need to lock the changes you made to keep the info from update changing them back.

To expand on what Pete said.. Sort Title is in YOUR hands and you can do anything you want. You cannot control the way the Online is sorted, that is in Ken Cole's hands and should be. Users should never beable to determine Sort Title for the Online...it's a long story and ugly.

The power of Profiler lies in it's two-tier system. We have an Online which has Contribution Rules to follow, and there is the local (your database) which you have complete and total control of, and you set the Rules for it. Further when you upload YOUR collection to Invelos, the servers create a clone of YOUR data, therefore people seeing your collection will see the data sorted and presented as you wish it to be presented. This two-pronged approach makes Profiler one of the most powerful databases of its kind.

Try changing your sort to

Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4, etc

or 01, 02, whatever floats your boat.

After you fix the sort title the way you want them Right Click a title (in the list on the right side) and go to Sort By -->Title -->Ascending that will re-sort the titles for you.

Ya did that too. Did all that right after I renamed them, but thanks for trying to help. If you like you can add the seven seasons to your profile if you don't have them, rename them all with "The Complete First through Seventh Season" and see if you have the same problem after you do all the things we have in this topic.

The Complete Fifth Season
The Complete First Season
The Complete Forth Season
The Complete Second Season
The Complete Seventh Season
The Complete Sixth Season
The Complete Third Season

Hmm... I'm wondering if perhaps you're misunderstanding what "Sort Title" means.

You can keep the title anything you'd like and still change the sort title in order to get them to appear the right way in your collection.

To modify the sort title, do this:

1. Edit the profile (by double-clicking on it in the collection listing)
2. The default tab should be the "General Information" tab, but if it isn't, select it in the list on the left.
3. Towards the top of the window you should see this:


You can keep the "DVD Title" as whatever you want, but in order to get them to appear the way you want them in the listing you're going to need to modify the "Sort Title" -- this title doesn't appear anywhere but in this field, it is just used for DVD profiler when it sorts the titles in your collection listing.

So for example, you could create the following sort titles:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 4
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 5
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 6
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 7

As you can see, that doesn't look anything like the proper title, since all we care about is getting it to appear in the right order. You need "The Complete" the in order for it to appear at that point in the listing.

Note: If you absolutely want the Sort Title to have a similar title to the DVD title I'd suggest doing something like this:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete 1st Season
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Complete 2nd Season
Etc.

Since the title is identical all the way to the numbers, it will still sort it properly.

Ya did that both the title and sort title are the same. I made screen shots so you can see from the main list the order they are in and the edit window you can see the sort title info. Can't find a way to post them though.

just change the sort title to Season 1-7

As I stated before, I would like to keep the titles that are on the covers. I uploaded my profiles so you can see the order is the same as the digipaks were. Anyways, this topic is on covers, and should be continued as such. My thought is that it is to bad the DVDs were released with the same UPC codes and there is no way to add the new type to the data base for users who buy just the new case type to download the correct info. They can only get the old titles and case type on download.

Agree with Astrakan (nice explaination BTW ).

The sort title field was created to solve your issue. There is no reason for the sort title to match the DVD title. If you truly want it that way then you will have to change the DVD title OR live with the incorrectly sorted DVDs
