    Default Sorting Movies and Shows with "The" in the Title

    Hi, is there a way to get the Boxee Box to ignore the word "the" when sorting movies? Right now about 1/4 of my movies begin with the word "the" and are all in the "T" section of the alphabet.

    I used to use a Popcorn Hour and it would ignore "A" and "The".

    Thanks...

    There is an issue where A and The get dropped for alphabetization, but not An.

    Right now, on my local movies, An Officer and a Gentleman, An Evening with Kevin Smith, and An Evening with Kevin Smith 2, are all located in 'A'.

    I reported this as a bug http://jira.boxee.tv/browse/BOXEE-12507 and it's already marked fixed for the next release (probably v1.5.1).
