Apologies. I feel someone must have asked this question before but it's fairly difficult to search for relevant posts as "The" is an ignored term in the search field. I also tried to search for only "ignore sort" but the results were all over the place.
I've included "The" as an ignored term in preferences -> Tags (2). However, the sorting isn't "The" agnostic.
1 - In the "Artist" column on my top left, "The" doesn't affect sort order but it does create a discrete entry relative to the same name without "The". Example: "Foo Fighters" and "The Foo Fighters" are two different entries with "The Fool Fighters" below "Foo Fighters" arranged alphabetically 0-Z. Of course, I probably need to rename one of the field to the proper entry, but my preference here would be that the entries with and without "The" are collated together.
2 - The "Album" column on my top right is more straightforward. It simple ignores that I placed "The" as an ignored term. All albums entries starting with "The" are alphabetically grouped together in the T section.
I would appreciate any help in correcting this behavior. Thank you
