The only real solution JL> would be to use MusicBrainz's sort tags, which we don't do yet. Can't we just make it work for users with en (en_US, en_GB, en_CA, en_AU etc.) as their locale? That would be good enough for 95% of English language users (which tend to be the one's requesting it). Yes, if "The" is word in another language it is a problem, but that's pretty rare and I think iTunes would have the same issue there anyway. Make it a gconf option or something.
