I want to renumber my database entries after I sort in the following way:
If the movie is a US film, use the original title. If the movie is a foreign film, use the translated title.
I can't figure out how to do this. When I sort by translated title, my US films don't have a translated title, so they don't get resorted before renumbering. Can someone explain how to do this? Thanks for any suggestions.
can I sort in this way?
A solution would be to use version 3.5 "alpha" and sort by Formatted title (if you display the Translated title before the Original title in the settings of formatted title, ask more info if you do not see what I mean).
This version 3.5 is still under development (that's why it is called "alpha") and has a main downside : no translation are updated yet, so it has to be used in english.
And the files saved by this version cannot be open by the old version.
Another solution is to copy the original title to the translated title if it is empty, then sort the list, then eventually remove the translated title if it is the same than the original title.
These title copies can be done easily with two small scripts.
So just say me which solution you prefer
