Re: Top 300 horror films that MUST be seen before you die.

Question for everyone-
For films that start with "The," like The Thing, would it be better to have it as "The Thing" or "Thing, The" as the title listing.  I personally always do it as "[xxx], The" since the "The" just tends to be superfluous.  Remember, we're dealing with a spreadsheet, not a Google search engine.

For a long list of films I would suggest putting 'the' at the end of the name in brackets like this; (The) smile

It's the most annoying thing about all the films I have stored on my computer, the folder alphabeticises them but puts all films with a 'The' prefix in the T section. It's so frustrating, sometimes it can take me up to 30 seconds to find a film starting with 'The'. And 30 seconds is a long time for me!!!

Personallly, I store every file with The in front like for my cover images it's FilmTheGnagnagna.jpg but for a spreadsheet, it would probably better to stick it at the end into [***].
Whatever it is doesn't bother me at all really...

I agree otherwise the T section is half the list.

I think the consensus is to put "The" at the end.  It will be fixed.

Is there an easy way of doing it? Or does it all have to be re-entered?

Nah, we just need to put the "The" at the end of the movie name (like "Thing, The").  Just takes a little bit of time.  Plus we still have to fill out the 2 genre sections and the IDDB ratings column.  If you want to help, feel free.

SPreadsheet here, anyone can edit it.

We know there are some errors.  Any help is appreciated.
