Artists with "The" Prefix in Name Sort Order in Album View

Solved!

Artists with "The" Prefix in Name Sort Order in Album View

On iOS, in Album view, artists with "The" prefix incorrectly alphabetize to the "T" section rather than omitting the "The" prefix. The Desktop version correctly sorts these artists. Don't know if this is a "bug" or intended behavior. If the former, please fix, if the latter, please standardize (would prefer the Desktop method of determining name). Screencaps included.

Hey @glennsim

 

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Omitting "The" is an intended change to make it so there isn't a huge section of "The" titles.

 

The desktop app first got the change and it will be coming to the iOS app in a future update.
