Movie sorting inconsistent

Version: 0.5.3
OS: CentOS 5.3
Install-type:  linux repository
Is the issue reproducible? not at will

I'm experiencing a lot of inconsistency with the Movie sorting, specifically the filename.  It is not consistently stripping all the extra fluff out of the name.

Sort String: %.title.(%y).%ext
Multipart Label: .CD%1

When it fails to properly name the file the year is not encased in parens (), and there's a lot of extra fluff between the year and the extension.

How does sabnzbd determine what the filename should be?  Is there something I can do to provide more useful information?  

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

BTW - TV sorting/naming works flawlessly so far.

EDIT: I just noticed 0.5.4 Final is out, I'm going to try to update to that.
EDIT2: Same results with 0.5.4 Final

If you have a look at the example : %title (%y).%ext

You see there is NO DOT between : %title & (%y)
Maybe that solves it ?

Hmm, interesting.

I was under the impression I could add periods to further specify how the filename would be laid out but I am probably mistaken.  Ideally that's how I would like the files named.

I'll absolutely give this a try later this afternoon and see how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion

I did as suggested and removed the period between %title and (%Y), unfortunately the file is still named incorrectly. 

Movie.Title.Year.A.Bunch.Of.Other.Crap.mkv is what I wind up with

Any other suggestions?

Does anyone else have some ideas that can help out? I'm still struggling to make this work properly.

I'm still having a problem with this, I am current with 0.5.6 Final.

Is this working properly for others?

We will be reviewing the sorting functions in the near future.
For the time being it will be "as is".
