Wrong alphabetical order if artists begins with "The"

Question

This changed in iTunes 5 and stayed the same in iTunes 6, bt was correct in iTunes 4. This one effects only localized versions (German one), I think.
In iTunes 4, a leading "The" in the artist name, like "The Doors", was ignored and "The Doors" showed up amongst all other "D-artists". Since iTunes 5, all artist starting with "The" are listed unter "T", which is... annoying.
Please, please, change this again, release iTunes 7 next week if necessary, call it iTunes 11 if you like, or simply patch the German localization as appropriate, because we also say "The Doors", not "Die Doors" (which, by the way, would be handled correctly by a German version of iTunes)

Florian,
Das Problem lässt sich recht einfach lösen - die Lokalisierung war ziemlich gründlich:
Ctrl-Click auf iTunes in Programme: "Paketinhalt Zeigen"
Contents
Resources
German.lproj
Localizable.strings mit einem Editor öffnen.
NACH "DIE" in Großbuchstaben suchen ...
Es sollten folgende Zeilen auftauchen:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
Diese Zeilen wie folgt ändern:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
"146.007" = "The ";
"146.008" = "%1, The";
"146.009" = "the ";
"146.010" = "%1, the";
"146.011" = "THE ";
"146.012" = "%1, THE";
