I think I saw this option before, but can't find it now. Is there a way to sort the library titles, so that "The" gets placed at the end of the title instead?

can't say i've ever seen that ? but i know the "ignore articles when sorting" (in Appearance > File List)
will ignore the "the" eg. The Dark Knight will be sorted under "D" but the filename remains the same

Can someone please further elaborate on isamu.dragon's response?
What is the name of the xml file to be created and where does it get placed within the Kodi directory structure?
Thanks

'advancedsettings.xml'
It sits in the root of the userdata folder.
If you look in the wiki when it comes back up you'll find a big section detailing what the file can do.
Edit: I'd delete this as being superfluous if it was possible.

Well the server's still down. I placed advancedsettings.xml in userdata (same spot as guisettings.xml and favourites.xml), cleared out the cache and restarted Kodi but no joy. The A's and An's are still not sorting as desired (though the The's are sorting okay).
So I can wait for the server to come back, but if you have any hints in the meantime they will be appreciated.
