    Greetings,

    I have a large database of books. Many of the them have an a, an or the at the beginning of the title. Is there a way to have TapForms ignore them (a, an & the) when sorting by book title especially on the iPhone?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Sorry, Tap Forms will sort those alphabetically grouping all the A’s, An’s, and The’s together.

    One option is to use something like “Terminator, The” instead of “The Terminator”

    Thanks,

    Brendan

    Brendan,

    Thank you for the quick reply. Perhaps that could be a feature request?? :-)

    Also, THANK YOU for posting the Bento to TapForms transfer process. I had many large collections in Bento and dreaded the thought of moving everything (they all had images). Thanks to that document, it was a breeze and now everything is in TapForms.

    Thanks for a great and very useful program.

    Chris
