Jozef Nakielski (jozef_nakielski) | 100 comments I'm adding a new book, one of a few with awkward titles.
firstly I'd like to know if the sort by title should be in capitals because the guide page shows it without http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/26..., yet the pop up box shows it with.

Secondly the book title The Isle of Wights Railways then a sub title of 1923 Onwards is described as the 5th book in the series 'Isle of Wight Railways'.
so would i use
'The Isle Of Wight Railways: From 1923 Onwards (Isle Of Wight Railways, #5)'

and as a sort by
'Isle Of Wight Railways: From 1923 Onwards (Isle Of Wight Railways, #5), The'

or just
'The Isle Of Wight Railways: From 1923 Onwards
and
'Isle Of Wight Railways: From 1923 Onwards, The'

Thanks

Capital letters are irrelevant for the sort-by field, so it doesn't matter.

Series information is optional (but useful) in the title field, but irrelevant in the sort-by field.

Jozef Nakielski (jozef_nakielski) | 100 comments So just put 'Isle Of Wight Railways: From 1923 Onwards,The' in the sort by ?
