Use "Beatles,The" vs "The Beatles" - VBU - 22-10-2025 17:13

Hi, There are a lot of artists under the letter T as many bands start with "The" for example "The Beatles" I have a number of artists where the word "The" comes after the artist name. Unfortunately I have forgotten where I change and how I write the command.
If I can get help with this again, I would be grateful.
Greetings, Ulf Jansson

I think what you want is on the properties Server tab:
tagOptions: all.ignore.sort={The,THE,the}

You can set the tagOptions property to this:

Artist.ignore.index.sort={The}

Thank you Peter and Simon,
When I go to MinimServer properties the tagOptions column is shaded. How to I make it clear to set the tagOptions?
Thank you

Hi Simon,
I have tried to buy a new license for 3 devices.
If the license is not valid anymore I'm ok with bying a new license.
When I'm trying to do so I get this text in red:
There is already a full license for email address u-jansson@telia.com.
This license was created on 2021-06-10 08:31:41 UTC.


How do I proceed?
Regards Ulf

You need to activate your full license on the TS-131.

1) In MinimWatch, select Configure
2) On the MinimServer configuration web page, select the License tab
3) Select Activate full license and follow the prompts

Hello again,
I am very sorry. I am normally a very careful person. Now I have searched everywhere and cannot find my license code to activate the full license. I have myself to blame. But I still want to activate the license.
How do I buy an add-on to activate the license again?
Kind regards,
Ulf

Your license code was in the license certificate email that you received when you purchased your license. I have forwarded another copy of this email to you. Please keep this information somewhere safe for future use.

Because your license was purchased a long time ago, it is valid for MinimServer 2.1 but not for MinimServer 2.2. To use your license with MinimServer 2.2, you need to purchase a license updates extension. To purchase this extension, visit this page.

Thanks Simon. I have now solved the problem with "The" after renewing my license.
