    I am working on a database of dogs who’s titles are normally at begining of name ie Sh Ch Lisdalgin Babbling Brook. How do i perform a sort excluding the Sh Ch so dogs are in name order?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    For this, you would either need a custom sorting algorithm in JavaScript, that strips out these titles, or you could look into using a solution that needs a second table column (hidden to the visitor), with just the name and without the title. Please see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/date-order-6/ for an explanation of this approach (for a slightly different scenario).

    Regards,
    Tobias
