I think if you don't set Force Title language every title will be scraped as orginalitle - at least for IMDB Data Scraper. TMDB Scraper will use the title in your preferred language I think. So maybe set in TMBD Scraper settings to not scrape Title. I think there might be an option in Ember to avoid setting Sorttitle at all - will take a look.

There is strange things going on in sorttiltle handling
All movies in DB has sorttitles saved for them, but only about 25% of them are written in nfo
Most of the sorttitles are the same as title, the only deference is that they have every word starting with a capital letter, but not all
So why is sorttitle always created and saved in DB? Can't see any benefits

That's better. Thanks Cocotus with your help with this and also for how Ember should deal with the sorttitle scraping.

I'll add my name to the list of people that prefer the sort title field to remain blank after scraping. I modify the value in the title field for at least a third of the movies I scrape, adding AKAs for a lot of the stuff from the 60s through 80s that are known by many names. With the sort title auto-filling as it is in the current version, I have to remember to delete it every time. If I don't, XBMC gives priority to the sort title. It's much more useful to have a blank field that's there to used only when an alternate sort is needed. A checkbox to turn this on and off would be ideal. Hope this makes sense...
Edit: Also, this was my first post. Hi everybody!

Was this made an option or just removed? Also, will sort title be filled for collections?
