ATV4K not alphabetizing consistently

[Logan in LA]

I love the ATV4K. It's a significant upgrade, in many ways, over the 3rd-gen ATV it replaced. I look forward to automatic resolution switching and (fingers crossed) the Amazon app--that will make it almost perfect, at least for me. But it drives me crazy that it's not alphabetizing things consistently. I have a large library of movies and TV shows in iTunes, so I spend a lot of time in the Computers app. Movies alphabetize correctly--skipping "A" or "The," for instance, so "A Room With a View" is under R and "The Incredibles" is under I. Not so for TV shows--"A Brief History of Disbelief" comes before "Absolutely Fabulous," and all the shows that start with "The" are grouped together in the Ts. It drives me a bit crazy. I sent a bug report to Apple, but (not surprisingly) have not heard from them. And yes, before anyone asks, I have the alphabetizing fields filled out correctly in iTunes.

If this is bothering anybody else, please file bug reports! If I'm just being weird, oh well...

What exactly do you mean by “alphabetizing fields”??
The sorting metadata fields?

Yes, exactly. I should have said sorting fields. And it all sorted properly on my old AppleTV.

You were right and seems tha latest v11.2 didn’t bring any changes to this behaviour.

I had this problem. My problem was the Movie anywhere app. I set it to list alphabetically, which then set my iTunes purchases back to alphabetical order.
