For example 'The Clockwork Century' shows in the 'T' list but does not show when I expand The 'T' list.

It does not show in the overall 'C' list but shows when I expand the 'C' list.

I like to use the overall (all series starting with) list when I am trying to correct my series metadata and at least 60 % of the inconsistencies show up at a glance. But many don't as some start with 'The' or 'An' for some titles and not for others in the series.

Probably I have something set wrong but cannot find it.

first I would suggest that you use the QC plugin and validate Author Sort and Title sort (no red sort fields in the Metadata editor).
then Preferences: Tweaks: # Control sorting of titles and series in the library display

Note there is a Note on that section the prior sorts are NOT changed automatically You might try 'Manage Series' and touch each of the ones with problems to trigger a new sort compute

BTW, this may be the answer to one or 2 series I have issues with sending to device that appear as:
A, Good Series
instead of: Good Series, A
