is it possible to have TMM use title sorting to populate the sorttitle box in the gui, so it in turn will populate the sorttitle tag in the .xml?

I Have the following: (A, The) in the title sorting box in settings, so in the gui "The 15:17 to Paris" is sorted "15:17 to Paris, The". but when i edit the movie in the GUI it is listed as "The 15:17 to Paris" and sorttitle is empty, so in kodi ith movie is sorted under The and not 15:17

You hit a nerve with the title-sort-title thing

We basically have two:
- a sorttitle
- title sortable


Let me rethink, how we did that:
Think of "title sortable" as an alternative way of writing the title.
It's basically the current title, but with the prefixes sorted to end (A, The, Der, Die Das, Un, ...),
so "The Matrix" would become "Matrix, The" and so on in NFO, and automatically 'sorted'

"Sorttitle" on the other hand, is and ADDITIONALLY title for that movie.
It is used mainly by Kodi, to complete sort out-of-order.
Imagine the "Die Hard Collection":
"Live Free or Die Hard" would normally be sorted into "L", but since you want to keep all your DieHard movies at one place,
you can specify this "sorttitle" after what Kodi will sort it's lists.
So by setting this to "DieHard4", even this movie will correctly sort after "Die Hard: With a Vengeance", which might have a sorttitle of DieHard3
Althouth the title complete starts with another character, it will sort inside Kodi where you want it.


So the "sorttitle" has to be set manually, and the "title sortable" just moves the prefixes around.
IIRC, using MovieSets also uses this sorttitle thing on the movies (automatically), to sort them in correct order.

After rethinking this, and writing those lines, we might change that to some extend, since it doesnt read _that_ good
