A little template assistance please?

This is probably very simple and the solution is probably already here, but my brain is incompatible with scripting and I can't figure out how to narrow the search sufficiently.

Anyway.

I use a simple folder structure to store books on SD cards, so it goes like this:

LN, FN / Series Series Index - Title

or

Campbell, Jack / The Lost Fleet 01 - Dauntless

However, I use this template:

{author_sort}/ {series} {series_index:0>2s} - {title}

which gives me:

Campbell, Jack / Lost Fleet, The 01 - Dauntless

which means I have to manually edit a lot of file names before transferring the files to the reader.

Basically I want a template which doesn't move the "The" to the end of the series title. If anyone can help me out I'll be very grateful.

Prefreences -> Tweaks => Control formatting of title and series when used in templates

Change it to 'strictly_alphabetic'

Excellent, thank you very much! I kind of assumed it would turn out to be one of the far-too-numerous-for-me-to-keep-track-of options.
