I have a strange issue.
The Option „Use formatted title for sorting“ does Not work anymore on android 8 eink devices.
It is working on my Android11 eink device. I Don‘t know what changed, that it is not working anymore. Especially that it is working with the identical Version on a different device.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Stephan

edit: strange #2: The Format does work with the default Library but not with another one ?
edit2: I created a Backup of the Library with the issue including the Settings. The issue is also on the other devices. So something seems to be wrong with Library or settings

I found the „issue“.
The Option does not work, when there is a Metadata for „SortTitle“. That Metadata overrides the Option.
Is there a way to do not override it with the SortTitle?

I do Not find any Option in the settings

that's  the purpose of SortTitle

As itsme said, the whole purpose of the SortTitle is to override the sorting behavior so that you can have something sorted a specific way regardless of what the title is. So I would not recommend using that field if you don't want that.

Hmm, okay.

I would like to use this field for „connect tablets“ mode as a unique identifier.
But if it is especially for sorting the Library I have to think about another solution.
I had hoped , that I can disable the override
