[mythtv-users] MythWeb Title sort order

Sorting by Title in MythWeb's search results leads to "Halloween" sorted 
before "A Hard Day's Night" and "The 'Burbs" sorting before "About a Boy", 
probably because the sort is excluding "A" and "The".

This seems wrong, even though I can understand the intent. I can understand 
dropping "The" because I do it in my music collection, but dropping "A" is 
not something I'd expect or have ever seen anywhere before, and I wouldn't 
use it in my own sorting.

Bug, or over-eager algorithm?
