Problem using HTML characters and sorting...

Post by Guest »

Hello,

Can anyone help me figure out this problem?

Right now.. I'm using the sort method of "Original title" when I export to HTML... So far everything work great... However on some titles... the first character would be in HTML character code.. So instead of it organizing the correct output title.. It use the special character HTML code as a sorting method...

Here is my example...

"Ỷ xxxxx" = The original title... And if using the sort original title correctly.. It would be at the bottom with the Ys...

However.. I need to enter in "&#7926" as the title.. Or else it won't display it properly... In doing this.. Ant Movie Catalog sort the & on top and as a result.. When I export it to HTML using the "Original title" sort option.. It doesn't display it correctly in order...

Please, if you know a way to fix this... I would appreciate the help...

I think I found a solution to this...

First... Put a alternate title without all the symbols and stuff in the "Media Label" field... Since I don't use this option anyway.. It doesn't bother me... Then when you export it to HTML.. Use "Adv Sort Option" with "Media Label" as one of the option... It will then sort the title correctly using just plain no symbols lettering since no codes are in the way to block it...

Hope that help...

I do not know how is called this thing on the Y, but I never saw it before :D It does not exist in west-european charsets, and I guess that the template has defined that its contents is in iso-8859-1 (west-europe). It is quite simple to modify that, but I do not know in which codepage your special character is defined. In which countries is it used ?

I got it off Microsoft Office :-D... So I don't know what charset those codes belong to either... I just type and Microsoft chug out the codes for me... ready to copy/paste into your wonderful program...

But a quick Google found me to this page...
