DefaultGen | 5,397 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 With the N’s? That would be like a guy I know who put Goldeneye 007 under J for “James Bond”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,895 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The only "characters" that don't count when alphabetizing are special characters (like an apostrophe) or articles like "A" or "The". Numbers go at the front. There is no other way. But, here' another question for debate. How do you sort numerically numbered games? Of course we put them in order as if they were standard digits, but if you want it in spreadsheet order, you're going to have a hard time sorting that Final Fantasy collection order on your PS1.

Strange | 1,700 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I’ve seen people ignore numerals and sort their games as if the numeral wasn’t there, glad I’m not crazy for putting mine at the beginning. I’m still curious to see if there is a big divide here or if I just know weirdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profholt82 | 60 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I don't understand why anyone would put them with the Ns. You're skipping part of the title that way, the 3 is part of it. I can see organizing it with the Ts, as in 3 Ninjas = Three Ninjas. A lot of people organize their movies and such that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Clearly goes in front. As for the rest of the conversation, the NES has a bunch of questionable organization possibilities. Some people would faint if they saw the way I have things ordered.

The Count | 526 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The three Fisher Price NES games present a similar problem for me. I don't alphabetize them with Fisher, but rather by Firehouse Rescue, I Can Remember, and Perfect Fit. I don't know if I'm correct or not, but it keeps me up at night.

An even worse offender are all of the "Disney's" titles, or other game that delcare a company. "Disney's The Lion King", "Disney's The Little Mermaid" "Disney's Dark Wing Duck" are all correct, but I don't think anyone sort's them that way, or even puts them in the databases with "Disney's" at the front. I've often wondered if we should though, since it is a possessive form of the companies name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that the title is Uncanny X-Men, but the side of the box only says X-Men. Right now it's in the U section of games, but occasionally it finds its way back the X section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,820 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I don’t sort the Disney games under D but if I really think about it, I probably should. It has the advantage of keeping all of those games together. One that’s always bugged me is The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. 1 should be in “L” and 2 should be in “Z”. I find this unacceptable. They both get sorted to Z. I can’t have successive games in a series all over my collection regardless of what the name is.

Tabonga | 2,313 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Call me odd but I put my Sega CD 3 Ninjas/Hook in with the the t's - between Third World War and Trivial Pursuit. Edited April 22, 2020 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,761 Administrator · Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 At the front with the numbers, the "3" is an integral part of the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,513 Graphics Team · Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 These sorting-inconsistencies drive me crazy, but there's something comforting about knowing that they drive everyone else crazy, too. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,005 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Under T for "three." Just kidding, I would put it at the beginning to respect the 3 but I don't make any exceptions with my alphebetizing. I even went as far to do this: - Bases Loaded - Bases Loaded 3 - Bases Loaded 4 - Bases Loaded II: The Second Season Hey, the letter I technically comes after the number 4, I can't ignore that.

You may know that it's really "Tekken 2" in your mind and know that putting it in with the N's is offensive to any sane person, but then you always have to see a big ole n-word right in the middle of your t's. You cannot escape the eye twitch, no matter how you sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
