The annoying fact is that the "series sort" virtual field is not visible anywhere, and cannot be changed. For a title, one can manually change it if for some reason something different is wanted, and the only drawback is that it appears in red in the edit metadata dialog. But for a series there's no way to "fix" it. I would very much like a real "series sort" field or something similar. It would also help for cases where the auto-guess is not correct (as in French, where "de" could be an article, or maybe not).

For the record, another workaround is adding the foreign article word to the "per_language_title_sort_articles" tweak. I guess in most cases side effects would be minimal.
