    Is there a way to get the Series, Video, and Movie libraries to ignore leading words like "the", "a", and "an"? I keep getting all the series that start with "the" sorted in with the T's.

    No, there is no way to do that and I somehow think most people won't like such sorting way as default much.
    I can asume, that adding a setting "Ignore leading words "the", "a", "an" while sorting could be theoretically possible.

    This is why when setting up local .nfo files for video content I set and use sort titles, maybe something for the wiki? Of course this doesn’t apply if you use online scraping, true?

    I am using online scraping using TinyMediaManager. I tried using Sort Titles and it worked great for a couple of weeks. For some reason now new recordings end up with either no sort title or they sort to the beginning of the list for some reason I haven't figured out yet.
