@CyberPotato - this is my understanding of the Tweak - title_series_sorting. Slightly reworded and spaced out better (IMO).

title_series_sorting - controls title sorting in the library view. If set to

library_order, the title sort field will be used when sorting on Title. In this case leading articles such as 'The' and 'A' will be ignored, unless you have manually edited the title sort field.

strictly_alphabetic, the titles will be sorted as-is, i.e by title , leading articles such as 'The' and 'A' are included in the sort.

For example, with library_order, 'The Client' will sort under 'C' because title sort will be 'Client, The'.

With strictly_alphabetic, 'The Client' will sort under 'T', because title sort will be 'The Client'.

What's not said explicitly is that in library view the book's title with the leading articles at the front is always displayed. But with the tweak set to library_order the list is sorted on title sort... So, 'The Client' will sort between 'City Lights' and 'Closed Doors'.

You can display title sort & author sort in Book Details by selecting the relevant columns/fields in Preferences->Look and Feel->Book Details.

Hope this helps - it also took me a while to work it out

Added - in Bulk Metadata Edit there's a checkbox Update title sort, I think it can be used to reset all the titles according the title_series_sorting setting. Best to backup library before doing any mass changes.
