Changing the video title using "Get info" option wont work? It works for the DVD-to-mp4 movies I have in my iTunes. But I dont have any paid videos bought from itunes so cant say for sure if it'll allow you to change the video info. If it does, you can simply change the names to "Harry Potter 1 - the Philosopher's Stone", "Harry Potter 2 - the Chamber of Secrets".

It's because British English is not American English.

so a "philosopher" is a "sorcerer" over there? lol

I read that the publishing company didn't think American's would get "philosopher" store. As if we are all so effing stupid. I want to punch that publisher in the face. So, they changed it to "sorcerer" stone to give it more interest and in hopes that Americans would "get it" more. Jerks. I think the name change is insulting. It should be Philosopher's Stone!

However, I changed the sorts name, but it does not make my harry potters go in order. I am also trying to make them go in order, without having to change the movie title. I find this a huge limitation in iTunes. I have the same problem with other things to, TV shows, albums, etc. There needs to be a better sort feature.

I tried to put all the movies in a compilation, but that didn't work....

Wait! I am a liar!

OK, so... I guess iTunes has to "think" for a bit.

When I went back to see about try something else I noticed that the HPs who's sort order I adjusted were in order, but I had to do this, to make it happen:


Note I also noticed that in the sort order under "Sort Artist" the Director's name is listed, which I think is the main contributor for the monies being out of order.

It was a pretty smart title for the U.S. market, and it most likely would have worked in the UK, if it had been released with that name (I doubt it could have hurt its prospects). Even if everyone knew what the Philosopher's Stone is, the title suggests a Medieval alchemist's fruitless quest, rather than a world inhabited by practicing witches and wizards. "Sorcerer's" does a better job of suggesting a key element of the story.

It's not a matter of whether anyone thought the U.S. public is stupid, or anti-intellectual. It's not a question of pandering to the lowest common denominator. A publisher's job is "to make public." It doesn't matter whether the motive is profit or the dissemination of an important idea, the goal is to achieve the widest circulation possible.

Once the Harry Potter brand becomes established, the only thing that matters in the title is "Harry Potter." For the first book in the series? If it's about magic, then say so! If the first does not succeed, there is no second, no less seventh.
