Description Barbara Johnson 2022-04-14 15:16:10 UTC
Bug 29570 (Unable to sort summary column of pending_orders table on parcel.pl by summary column) added sorting capability back to the summary column for the pending orders table.  However, search results do not ignore the articles 'a', 'an' and 'the' when displaying the results. I don't believe it used to be like this and other areas in acquisitions, such as invoices, ignore initial articles when displaying search results.

Ignoring the articles in sort is almost always good practice. This would be a helpful fix for orders with many titles.
