Is there a way to adjust the titles of the games in one's library so that they observe the rules of standard alphabetization? I just noticed that when I go into my library, it starts with "A Hat in Time," filing it with the A titles even though its placement shoudl be among the H games.

Even worse: when I go into my T games, I have about 40 titles that are alphabetized "The". These games run the gamut from "The 11th Hour" to "The Witness."

I just think of iTunes -- clunky, overblown iTunes, I know -- and how it has the "Sort As..." field you can modify.

I don't think there is. It's definitely long overdue. Would also be nice to have some more consistency regarding alphabetization of games in a numerical series, eg, Elder Scrolls: Arena vs Elder Scrolls: Chapter II Daggerfall vs Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind ends up in the order 3,1 2, whilst the Thief Trilogy end up ordered 2, 3, 1.

Thank you very much for the reply. Even though I've been buying stuff off GOG for years, I'm relatively new to what it can do, and was thinking I might've missed it.

GOG sometimes change titles in various ways, including fiddling with articles, and it seems to be linked to a long-lived Galaxy bug that causes cover images for installed games to disappear from the client's left-hand panel. So e.g. every so often I notice a missing picture for (if memory serves accurately) The Ultimate DOOM, so I click on it and it turns into Ultimate Doom, The, and changes its position in the list of installed games.
