Skyrim begins with an 'S'

[Mavrah]

I'm really tired of my game library apherbetercully putting Skyrim in front of Firewatch and Frostpunk.
Skyrim begins with an 'S,' not an 'E.'

[Quevik]

You are absolutely right. It begins with an ES

[Von Faustien]

the Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim

given you never count the when alphabetizing the tittle starts with E.

Regardless of what some people think Skyrim inst a stand alone game nor the games actual name its a subtitle

Star Wars is still Star Wars regardless of its a new hope, revenge of the sith or Disney giant dump on film and human story telling.

you would never start Star Wars episode 4 a new hope at A you'd do it at S. the idea youd put skyrim under S, oblvion under O, daggerfall under D and morrowind under M rather than shoving the franchise under E is asinine

It's not Older scrolls, it's Skyrim.
Older scrolls are quest items, not Star Wars-equavalent franchise names

[wicked lester]

Just be grateful it's not listed under The.

[Junipercat]

Skyrim is not the title, but the sub-title. It is part of the franchise "The Elder Scrolls" (that is Elder, not Older).

Alphabetizing titles normally ignores "The" which is why it is under E.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Sorry but just because you simplify it to Skyrim doesn't officially remove the rest of the title.

And ends with a "T"

[sansee]

Weird thing is, Steam lists it as 'Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, The', behind the scenes, but still shows 'The' in front of the title.

It is quite annoying actually and gives an impression of chaos in the list, like listing 002 before 00001.

[Michanicks]

It does look good if Skyrim is not the only TES game you have. In full library it's a nice looking list of multiple The Elder Scrolls games combined together in order. If games of one series would be thrown around the list, that's what the true chaos would be.

[Junipercat]

Would make sense to have "The" moved to the end, separated by a comma. Though wonder how many people would complain about how weird it looks.

Either way, hope the OP now understands the actual title.

Maybe all these "Skyrim VI" and "Skyrim 2" jokes weren't jokes after all...

ELDER SCROLLS
And yes it is the Series name.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" begins with a T.

[xybolt]

I have to agree that it annoys me a bit to find a game name "The Elder Scrolls: ..." between games whose names starts with D and F when checking the game list in your library.

Aside from some minor out of order (like it got sorted because of use of a roman character in the middle of the name) this game is really obviously out of order.

Did ya know that the Creation Kit of this game is listed at S ?!?

For alphabetizing purposes, and initial "The" is ignored. So instead of it being "The Elder Scrolls", it is instead considered "Elder Scrolls, The".

Except Steam obviously does not follow that convention.
