Sort titles with articles

The current sorting disregard articles, "The" and "A" but is there a way to include sort with articles?

Try setting Preferences->Tweaks->Control sorting of titles and series in the library display to strictly_alphabetic

Thanks. It seems the tweak is dependent on the title sort field metadata and thus all titles' metadata need to be updated. I don't suppose there's a dynamic, on the fly, sorting for this?

There is no dynamic sorting but you can updte all books by simply selecting them all, clicking edit metadata and choosing "Update title sort"
