help making a plugboard for sorting series?

I've been using calibre for a while now, and i've been using this plugboard i found online to keep my series under control:

{series}{series_index:0>2s| #| - }{title}

this mostly does what i want, making all the books in my library show up in nice ordered series. It was good at the start, but now that i have a lot of different books on my nook, i've noticed a new problem: i like making a separate shelf for each series, and whenever i go to add books to it, around half of the series i have are all stuck under T because they have "the" in the beginning of their name.

so my list looks something like this:
The Black company # -
The Chronicles of Narnia # -
The Earthsea Cycle # -
etc.

However, my own preference for making shelves is having the "The" at the end of the name, so its easier to find the books. so my question is: is it possible to make a plugboard that reads something like this:

Black Company, The # -
Chronicles of Narnia, The # -
Earthsea Cycle, the # -

I'm sure its possible, but i have no idea how to write plugboards, and i didn't find anything about it by searching around google or the forum. I know i could just delete the "the" from the beginning of the series, but i prefer to have accurate names so i leave them in most of the time, but it makes sorting a pain.
