Good evening... I am trying to order a list of books by their Title. However, many of the books begin witht the word "The" or "A" or "An".
Is there an easy way to go through and say... <cfset actualTitle = query.Title minus A,An, or The> then the SQL... Select Title >From Books Order By #ActualTitle# Would I need to go through and do a left of the string Title <cfset leftVal = Left(query.Title, 3)> <cfif leftVal IS "the"> <cfset actualTitle = query.title - LeftVal> Does this make sense??? I just dont think I'm "getting it". TIA :) Candace K.
