The tweak is title_sort_articles in the tweak category "Set the list of words considered to be "articles" for sort strings". My guess is that you want to remove 'A' and 'An' to arrive at
Code:
title_sort_articles = '^The\\s+'
Note that after you change the tweak (and restart calibre) you must recalculate the title sort values. Select the books in your library you want to change (perhaps all books), E for bulk metadata edit, check the "Update title sort" box, then press OK.

ditto for how media player, Itunes etc. sort by artist.

book & music industries are out of step on this
My record store would file:
Bob Dylan under "D"
We Five under "W"

The difference is one is a persons surname.

You can do that in Calibre using Manage Authors and adjusting the Author sort for an individual name.
