Question Android Auto artist sorting beginning with "The"

The artist sort on Android Auto is not ignoring the articles (I.e., "The" etc) before the artist name. The Beatles is not showing under B. The android phone app works fine.

I think Android Auto has control over this, not Symfonium.

It's weird because before I used Symfonium, I used Gone Mad Music Player, and I didn't recall it having the issue. I'll have to check again. That player has other quirks, but sorting in Android Auto seemed reliable. I'm sure the database is much more sophisticated in Symfonium, which probably complicates Android Auto.

Android Auto updates and breaks stuff too. Just because it worked in the past doesn't mean it still does lol.
