I realize this article is a bit old but do you have any idea on how to do this but with WordPress posts? I’m using custom post types for a book database and I want to sort it by title, without leading articles of course. I don’t want to resort to renaming the books from The Songs of the Humpback Whale to Songs of the Humpback Whale, The. Any suggestions?

Oh Man!!!! Thank you very much for helping me out.

I was about to cry because I locked my domain account by mistake and totally unable to access even after resetting password with alternate email.

There was not even enough help available on google forum or may be I didn’t found it.

Thanks once again.

I haven’t run a benchmark on this – I would image that your technique would be faster when sorting without the article, but would require rewriting some other queries/functions in an existing site to make everything function the same. Let me know if you get a chance to run some comparisons!

Have you benchmarked this approach vs. stripping the articles off and putting them in a separate column? For example, PRE would contain “The” and TITLE would contain “Big Lebowski”. You can then sort on TITLE and when it’s time to display, just do

echo $pre . ” ” . $title;
