George, this approach wouldn't solve my problem and seems more complex
than necessary. Any solution that doesn't allow me to sort based on a
non-displayed field just won't be flexible enough. The "sort
field/display field" solution is intuitive to use, simple to implement,
and powerful enough to allow complete control over sort order (for
example, subsorting albums by an artist chronologically).

Colby and David,
This might be helpful on this topic. I have a database that I use for
my Karaoke. As any of you who goes to Karaoke knows that sorting is a
big issue. This is how I implemented the database.
There are two fields, one labeled Last Name/Group Name and the other one
labeled First Name/Literary Words. This way, you only need to enter the
artist information once. Then I have codes that will sort by the first
field and then second field (Last Name - First Name or Group Name -
Literary Words). The Last/first Name is obvious. The Literary words
would be all the "The", "A", and "An". When I need to display the
artist, I simply display the second field first and then the first field
(First Name - Last Name or Literary Words - Group Name). For those
group names that do not start with a literary word, simply leave the
second field blank. And the display must be intellegent enough to not
put a space in between the two fields if the Literary field is blank.
For those one name artists, like Cher or Blondie, I put them in the
first field as Last Names.
The only bitch about this method is that CDDB does not support this
method. So for those who want to take advantage of this, would have to
manually enter the artists. This method has worked flawlessly in my
Karaoke database.

I just posted a similar complaint/solution on the BBS after searching
didn't come up with anything really useful. My need is to have CDJ
display the artists in the order I specify, so the query doesn't help
there.
The solution (two "artist" fields in the album table--one to use for
sorting and the other to use for display) seems simple to retrofit into
CDJ without much work or worry--hopefully we'll see it implemented soon.

The reason why you didn't see any replies is because this is an old long
time standing issue. Many discussions have already taken place on this
topic. One way to do this is to write an Access query that'll do the
job
for you rather than manual edit. You can even set it up so that you
have a
Windows shortcut that'll launch Access, open the database, and run a
script
that'll run the query. But you do need to click on the shortcut to run
it
manually.
Hope this helps.

P.S. Check the Nirvis BBS for other ideas on this topic.

Well I didn't see any replies. It'd be nice if CDJ did this for you but
not
many programs have this feature for sorting lists.
I've taken to solving it the brute force way ... manual editing. I've
gone
through my titles and changed all the album names like "The XXXXXX" to
"XXXXXX, The". In some cases I just dropped "the" or "a", but most of
the
time I use the ",".
For whatever it's worth,
Scott

Does anyone know a handy way to short albums alphabetically by artist
name ignoring the "The" and "a" and "an" article or the first name of
artist without altering the name itself ?
The obvious solution is in the database use another field to input the
artist name in desired format for shorting.
But the problem still is how to get CDJ to use that field / (index).
Any suggestion ?
(If I remember correctly, in "customize header" there was no way to
include any additional text fields)
Is there any hidden gems of CDJ that I'm unaware of that allow to use
alternative index on database ?
