Ignore "the" when sorting

At the moment, iTunes is the only app I’ve seen that ignores the first “The” in names of bands and albums. Can’t Sonos do the same?

B

  • The Beatles

F

  • The Future Sound of London

U

  • The Undertones

Correct.

 

T

  • The Beatles
  • The Future Sound of London
  • The Undertones

Incorrect.

 

I shouldn’t have to rename everything to something like “Beatles, The” to get it to show correctly. Also, I don’t know if Sonos can be made to read Apple’s sorting tag, or adopt similar, so artists are sorted by the correct letter - Lionel Richie should come under “R”, not “L”.

I’d personally hate having to look for a “The Beatles” under B. Just is not the place I’d look for it. But I have contacts on my phone sorted by first name too……
