How do you alphabetize your numeric titles?

[Crème Blu-ray]

By digit
16 Blocks
20 Million Miles to Earth
2001: A Space Odyssey
3:10 to Yuma
300
Sunshine

By number
3:10 to Yuma
16 Blocks
300
2001: A Space Odyssey
20 Million Miles to Earth
Sunshine

By orthographical expansion
16 Blocks ("Sixteen Blocks")
Sunshine
300 ("Three Hundred")
3:10 to Yuma ("Three Ten to Yuma")
20 Million Miles to Earth ("Twenty Million ...")
2001: A Space Odyssey ("Two Thousand One ...")

Numerically by alphabetical value (A=1, B=2 etc) by color of cover art, so
BLUE
GREEN
RED
YELLOW
etc....

And if two cases are the same color, they go by year of theatrical release, and if they were released the same year they go by age of starring actor, and if it's the same actor, (ID4 and I-ROBOT) then it goes by supporting cast's date of birth........

It's very simple once you get used to it.

easiest way for me is by digit

[Yuzo]

by digit,.. i basically copy the order as it shows on DVD Spot

[JJ]

I've been having that trouble with 300, 3:10 to Yuma, and 30 Days of Night. Right Now I have it by number, 3, 30, 300.

what the hell? talk about perfectionis't I dont have alot of number movie's, only 2001, 30 days, and 3:10 to yuma. so i dont have to worry about that yet.........edit: oh and 28 week's later, i guess i do have a few

[mdtulp]

what the hell is orthographic expansion?

[saprano]

I think it it mean's you take the numebers,and use them how there pronounced as letter's?;...................did that make any sense?

[tarik]

far too complicated! mine are just in a pile!
order = random lol

Orthographic means "having to do with spelling". So the example I have spells out the numbers before they're alphabetized.

"Sixteen Blocks"
Sunshine
"Three Hundred"

I probably should've just used the word "spelling".

For the record, I sort by digit since that's the way DVD Profiler does it, and it makes it simple to eyeball the spine and know where to put it on the shelf.

[Roland1919]

Numbers first, orthographical next, then misc in same order....

[Xen]

Had been doing it by number, but reading through this thread made me realize that digit may actually make more sense.

This is how I have it as well.

[Blu Falcon]

The first choice is the best choice.

[The Don]

I just find a spot to put one and there it is....screw alphabetizing..

[sj001]

300 = Three Hundred, and so forth, that's how I do mine.

[Flomaster]

Digit for me

28 weeks later
300
3:10 to yuma

same here (in a way)

two groups seen (I saw that copy) and unseen (I did not see that copy)

seen are more or less random (but more or less oldest (seen before) to newest)

unseen movies are by play time shortest to longest (with box sets and TV series at the end). This way if I have 1.5h free or 2h or 3h it makes it easier to decide what movie to see. while when I watch older titles it is usually because I want to re-see that movie.

[Kuraudo]

This is easy comparing to alphabetizing Chinese titles (no blu rays yet I don't think..)

[Uxi]

First by studio and then by preference. Favorite movies to the left.
