Bug Description

I am really fed up with Exaile stripping the 'the' 'l' 'la' 'le' and 'les' words from the beginning of my artist / album fields. Because of this, I have several artists and 18 albums that are not sorted in the good place, and that I have to look for, which is quite unpleasing.

If I believe that the artist or album tags should not contain these words, I am entirely competent for removing them on my own, and Exaile shouldn't do it without my consent.

If this feature is to stay, then it should be optional and disabled by default.

This seems to be common practice in English (e.g. sorting The Beatles under B), though I can see how it can be confusing especially with foreign artists or for users of locales where this sorting is not common.
