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?
A and The are noise words and are sorted in the order of next word.
"The Money Trail" will sort: Money Trail, The may will appear The, Money Trail
