Help dealing with albumartistsort

[ohrenkino]

@sjkiss

I can see how your script would solve my problem for the "The" though. But how do I solve the first problem?

My suggestion would copy ALBUMARTIST to ALBUMARTISTSORT in all cases and only for those with a leading "The" it would leave out that article.

And in general for the problem of copying fields, there is a post in the FAQs:

Actions and batch-operations

How to copy one field value to another field? Example how to copy the content of the ARTIST field to the ALBUMARTIST field: Create a new action in an existing action group or make a new action group. Action type: Format value Field: ALBUMARTIST Format string: %artist% Note: If you want to copy all possible values of a field (in case you have multiple artist fields), the internal scripting function $meta_sep can be used in the format string, e.g., $meta_sep(artist,\\\\)
