    Hello! Brand new z10 user here. I'm learning how to set it up, and I can't quite figure out how to alphabetize the library without using articles. For instance, "The Evil Dead" shows up in the T's instead of the E's. I see from some screenshots of other users that this is a solved problem, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

    HT4/Settings/Preferences/"Ignore the word...."

    Not sure if you mean you have the Z10 Pro or the older Z10, but on the newer model, with later versions of HT4, you can add as many words as you like, articles or not. "The" is there by default.

    On the Z10, you're stuck with "The" and it defaults to being off, so I figure that's the case here.

    Can you also add “a” and “an” with “the” to ignore as well?

    I've got the z9x and about the poster wall ignoring "the" that works. But I see no way to tell it to ignore "a" and "an" unless im not totally up to date. I just got the machine today. It's v6.3.60
