Hello

Im trying to sort <MTEntries> by title.

I know you can use <MTEntries sort_by="title" sort_order="ascend"> but this modifier some how prioritizes capitalized letters first to the sort. Im not sure if this is a glitch in the system but this modifier should sort by purely the alphabets(caps or no caps) used in the title.

Example:

I would like to sort these titles alphabetically:

APRICOT
Aligator
ABBEY
Apple

If <MTEntries sort_by="title" sort_order="ascend"> is used:

ABBEY
APRICOT
Aligator
Apple

But it really should be (and I want)

ABBEY
Aligator
Apple
APRICOT

Would someone know how to achive this?

Commonly movable type will publish HTML files which contains absolute path, but if I want to host the site under different domain(e.g., both HTTP and HTTPS), it is very inconvenient. So is there a way to change all the paths to resource of my site to absolute ones? Thanks >>> More
