Sorting movies so that the title is alphabetical including "The" or "A" at the start

Plex Media Server

I have a large library of movies and TV shows that are sorted and into collections and I am loving the server, I have only 1 issue that I recently noticed and it that when a show or movies has “the” or “a” at the front it is not sorted by that but by the next word.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Sort Title to include the “a” or “the” on a large scale rather than individually.

Thanks In Advance

create an empty string to declare that there should be no articles removed from titles to create the sort title.
This change has only an effect on newly added items (or after getting the Plex Dance treatment).

Keep in mind though that this method of sorting was investented for a reason: If you have prevalently English titles, ~30% of your library’s titles will cluster around the letter A and T.
