As for the "passion" of the alphabetical order, I imagine that this is a personal taste, a choice, and so I would like to do mine. On my reader there is the possibility to sort (alphabetically) the titles, it is a possibility that I would like to use, why not?
On the other hand, I do not understand what advantage there is with hundreds of books ordered like this:
"The blackberries"
"Carnival"
"The ducks"
"Elephant"
"These figures"
Minor nit: 'These' would sort with the T's.

Another question is you appear to be saying the title is sorted library order on your ereader. Perhaps you might want to check your ereader instead of blaming calibre? I know on my Kobo ereaders, 'the' is disregarded when I sort by title. I.e., The Spring Suit is placed just after Spring Sorrows while The Spy Who Loved Me is placed before SQL Server 2014 Tutorials.
