Ignoring Funny Chars in ABC ordered sort
I've searched for this have haven't come up with anything that applies as of yet. If it's been posted before can you point me to the thread, if not can you help me? The question is, that I want to have characters at the begining of a Title that aren't letters or numbers ignored when it sorts alphabetically. I don't want to remove them, just have the sort be based on the first letter or number after these chars. An example would be:
Quote:
!This is my Title!
and rather than it being at the top of the list because of the "!", I'd like it to be sorted as a "T". kind of like this:
Quote:
The best site on the web
!This is my Title!
Trucks 'R' US

Any help would be appreciated,
Sheldon

Try taking the codes from the Ask.com Mod in the Resource Center and apply them in your nph-build.cgi file or in your sub build_sorthit routine in the db_utils.pl file.
