Why wait for tag *editing*? For the sorting stuff to work, you need
only be able to *read* the tags, which you obviously are, or you
couldn't sort at all. Until tag editing works, you could put a switch
for the sort-ignore-'the'-function in the preferences, so people who
don't want to fiddle with easytag to edit their id3tags - or rather,
those tags that are wrong and get sorted wrongly - can have it the old
way.

But what am I saying? I am in no position to order anyone here. I might
start looking into it - but not within the next one-and-a-half weeks as
I have finals coming up. I'll bug you guys with things I don't
understand then... ;)
