I prefer to keep the articles "The", "A", and "La" in front of song names and artist names, but would like the sort order to exclude them. For instance, the artist "The Beatles" should be sorted in the Bs not the Ts. The song name "A Day In The Life" should be sorted in the Ds. This is how it's done in iTunes by default.
Given that there is already an option to move "The" and "La" to the end of the artist name, it may be best to make this request an option as well.

Seconded.
Also, ignore parenthetical text when listing alternate tracks:
B52s - Love Shack (duet) should = B52s Love Shack.
Often things like Duet or acoustic version are not listed, making the tracks actually identical. Also, often the singer wants the duet version but signs up for a non duet version. Being able to grab them quickly from the pop-up would save loads of time.
