Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-09-12 19:19:59 UTC 
The artist listing would be much more useful if the prefixes "The " and "A " where not taken into account for sorting (of course they should be shown).

An example might help. Right now the sorting is like this:
- Doors
- Dusty Springfield
- The Dandy Warhols

It would be nice to see this:
- The Dandy Warhols
- Doors
- Dusty Springfield

And for extra i18n bonus points a special translateable string with e.g. comma separated ignorable artist name prefix would be quite cool.

(Oh, this goes for album names as well of course.)
