This extension contains several fixes for game names (and sorting names). It can:
* ('Title Sort' refers to leading articles ignored for the purpose of sorting titles. For example, 'The Legend of Zelda' would be treated as starting with the letter 'L' instead of 'T'). This is very useful after importing roms into Playnite. (The No-Intro naming convention uses Title Sort).
Example Before Fix:
Example After Fix:
As you can see in the above example - the titles are now ordered numerically even though they use roman numerals.
Details of Features:
Compatibility: Due to the Great 8 Break, this extension is not compatible with any version of Playnite after v8.15.

After these forums close I will upload add-ons to https://mega.nz/folder
- populate sorting names
- remove Title Sort * style from game names.
- It also fixes the order for titles with roman numerals

Example Before Fix:
- Final Fantasy IX
- FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED
- FINAL FANTASY XII THE ZODIAC AGE
- Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
Example After Fix:
- FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED

- Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
- FINAL FANTASY XII THE ZODIAC AGE

Details of Features:
- Name field - Trim: This fixes a minor bug created by old versions of Playnite. This checks every game in the database for trailing spaces and trims any found.
- Name field - Remove Title Sort style: This removes Title Sort from game names.
- Sorting Name field - Populate: This will check the name of every game in the database and adds sorting names if necessary.
- Sorting Name field - Remove existing names if match game name: This will fix any sorting names that are no longer needed.
- Sorting Name field - Trim: This will fix any sorting names that need trimming.
- Sorting Name field - Apply Title Sort to existing names: If you ever manually set any sorting names, this can be used to apply Title Sort ordering.
- Sorting Name field - Report existing names not matching calculated values: This may be useful if you have ever manually set any sorting names. This checks all existing sorting names and calculates what the sorting name would have been if it had been set by 'Sorting Name field - Populate'. Recommend running this report before running the next fix.
- Sorting Name field - Update existing names to calculated values (with prompt): This may be useful if you have ever manually set any sorting names. This checks all existing sorting names and compares what the sorting name would have been if it had been set by 'Sorting Name field - Populate'. If the sorting name value is different, it will ask whether you want to update the sorting name with the calculated value. If you have done extensive editing of sorting names, this can take a long time to process.
