Hi Terry,

thanks for your quick answer. I would like to add the nonsorting characters << and >> around articles like "a", "an" and "the" (and possibly other words like "and") in 245$a. A title like: "The Wonderful MarcEdit Software" would then look like:

245$$a<<The>> Wonderful MarcEdit Software.

See also https://www.loc.gov/marc/nonsorting.html. If there is a different way to handle nonsorting with MarcEdit, I'd be happy to know about it.

Thanks again,
Anke
