Anyway to have iPod ignore articles ('The')?

Question

While iTunes ignores articles (such as 'The') when grouping/sorting by Artist (for instance, albums by 'Arcade Fire' show up under the artist 'The Arcade Fire' since I have that artist name for some albums. I don't have both an 'Arcade Fire' and 'The Arcade Fire' artist), that behavior doesn't seem to persist on the iPod app on my iPhone (if sorting by Artists I have both a 'The Arcade Fire' and a 'Arcade Fire' artist).
Is there any setting I'm missing that resolves this? I never notice it til it's synced then have to remember to go back and adjust the artist in iTunes. Seems odd that iTunes and the iPod have differing behaviors.

Answer 1

There should be a "Order by" Tab under the song info window, in iTunes. You might try to remove the article from there. It SHOULD fix it, I never really had this problem. But you might give it a try
