JadeShark Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Just a thought,,,, Maybe put the games that start with 'The..' also in the next word/letter alphabetically eg: The Last Of Us Maybe post that also in the list under the L -------------------------------- Feel free to rip into my obvious dumbass idea, but it was just a thougt Edited April 28, 2016 by JadeShark 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Just a thought,,,, Maybe put the games that start with 'The..' also in the next word/letter alphabetically The people that came up with these names specifically put "The" at beginning of the title, so in my view it is how the game should be referred to. I don't know how much benefit it would really have to have two entries for each game that starts with "The". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's called 'The Last of Us' so you either look under the letter T or search (The) Last of Us in the search bar in the top right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeShark Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Don't get me wrong,,, I'm absolute fine with 'THE' It was just a thought 'The Last of us' was just a reference But would it bother you if it was listed under the L in the games list ??

Yes, because it would be incorrect. The game isn't called "Last of Us". Basically there's no need for this at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JadeShark Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 This was just a thought to place the games list (on the website) that started with THE... into the alphabet I meant no disrespect, I have no disrespect It was a simple idea, from a simple girl I thought it was pretty simple How it offends people is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadiochao Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Nobody's getting offended, they just don't agree with the idea or see it as necessary. You even invited people to rip into the idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoazol Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I sorta get the logic why you think 'The' shouldn't count towards the alphabetical order, but it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FawltyPowers Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I can see why you've written this post. To be honest "The Last of Us" is a bad example because it doesn't sound right without "The". but here's another example "The Simpsons Arcade Game" - To me if I wanted to find a Simpsons game I would have looked under "S" On saying that as someone else mentioned, all you need to do is enter "Simpsons" in the searchbar at the top and it's returned immediately no matter which letter you're currently on so I don't think it's necessary.

harsly Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'm used to this kind of sorting, since iTunes also ignores 'The', and now that I've gotten used to it I see why it's better (for me). But I understand why nobody thinks it's necessary, because I was the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeShark Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 NO NO NO We alll know 'The'............ I am sooooo sorry for mentioning I stupidly thought of otherss I am sorry for every PTY LTD I meant differently Whoops ,,,, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrumpleOrz Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I am sort of surprised that people are fighting against ignoring the world "The" if it's the first word in the title, since doing that has been the standard in alphabetizing for a very long time. I personally would prefer if it "The" were ignored, but I can manage if it's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would prefer if it "The" were ignored, but I can manage if it's not. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Quite a few libraries, stores, and even iTunes (as previously mentioned) drop the 'the', so it would make perfect sense to me if the convention were applied here too. I too, would prefer having it ignored, but it's not a strong preference on my end either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowxSakura Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Usually when I see it ignored on a store, I'm going to use TLOU as an example, it would be worded as Last of Us, The. I wouldn't really be bothered if we used either format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone_Earth Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 While I'm on the side of dropping "the", it's merely a minor annoyance with a simple workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemiak Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 If you walk into a game store you would find a game alphabetized, ignoring "The" almost every time. I personally agree with this, but it's such a small issue that it doesn't bother me either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo_0113 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Its not a bad idea. Many websites put "The" after the actual name. For example Walking Dead, The. Actually a couple times i have searched for the Last of Us i have looked at L first. Same for some others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work at Blockbuster for over 9 years and we would put titles Last of Us, the because most people take out the "THE" when saying a name. I would look under A for Amazing Spiderman or D for Darkness 2 not T for The Darkness 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofa King Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) It's definitely against the norm to alphabetize starting with The, but it's something I've gotten used to here so it's just an afterthought. I'm fine with it as is, but it's certainly not an issue that should raise any saltiness. Edited April 29, 2016 by Sofa King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
