Remix in Action

Origin Story

This field was built to address a specific need: strip "The" and "A" from titles to create a sorting field. In fact, the original name of this plugin was Sort Title. But after some tinkering, it became clear that this field had more potential.

Thus, the Remix field was born.

Upgrading to v2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 includes breaking changes with automatic migration:

• Property names changed from PascalCase to camelCase (e.g., RemixTarget → target)
• Rule storage changed from indexed arrays to associative arrays
• Craft 4 is no longer supported — use the 0.x line for Craft 4

The migration runs automatically when you update. Back up your database first.
