Definite article in title sorting

Hello,
is there a way to make it so that definite article (“the”) is not ignored when sorting items by title?

e.g. If I have a movie named “The Father”, when sorting by title, Plex puts this item at letter “F”, instead of “T”: I’d like to change that.

Thanks

You can do that using an advanced setting (ArticleStrings). This option specifies all the articles Plex is going to ignore… so clearing the value will result in no articles being ignored.

Keep in mind this will only apply to future additions. If you want to apply the change to existing items, you’ll need to refresh their metadata.
