Sort by title - italian

[Stefano]

Hi, I've noticed that it's impossible to find this record https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... in the search bar. The title is formed of the parts "per" and "un' " which means "for" and "an" in italian. I've formatted the sort-by-title like "architettura totale, per un' ". Is it correct?
Also, before modify, I've notice that the title (formatted in sort-by-title as the title field), was already unsearchable.

The sort-by-title is for sorting the editions of a work or the titles on your shelf and hasn't anything to do with the search function.
For the sort-by-title field you should follow the rules of the language of the specific edition.

The search function has some issues, but this book is added so long ago searching by title should work. Unfortunately there isn't really anything we can do about this.
In general, searching by ISBN or ASIN is the most reliable way.

Ok, I studied the rule, but it show what to do in case of an "a, an, the", I think it's the same in case of a preposition like "for" but I wasn't sure.

I think that the preposition (per) plus the article (un') create the mess with the search bar.

Thanks anyway

Only if a title starts with a definite or indefinite article (il, la, lo, l', gli, un, un', una, etc.) should you fill in the sort-by-title. The article sorts last.

So if a book is titled 'Il tren', the sort-by-title is 'tren, il'.

A title starting with a preposition should be sorted on that preposition: 'per un'architettura totale'.

ETA There have been many edits in this book record recently, that also impacts the search function negatively.
