Series sorting in plugboard

I've set up a metadataplugboard for the ipad where I send over the book title as {series} {series_index} {title}
and the sorted title field as:
{series} series_index:0>5.2f} {title_sort}

I may have the exact field names wrong but that's the gist of it; I'm going from memory.

This works except for series names that begin with "The" or "A". There doesn't appear to be a series_sort field or a function where a sorted series name can be generated from the series name.

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be handled?
